My dad has fond memories of that “behind the bag” sequence, and Vin’s call made it really special. Of course, there was also his call of Hank Aaron’s home run record. The Braves just happened to be playing the Dodgers that night, and even though he was the announcer on the opposing team, he knew the gravity of the moment.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It's a double whammy in Boston and WBZ. We lost Bruce Schwoegler last week, now WBZ mourns the loss of Uma Pemmaraju. Uma started her career at KENS 5 in San Antonio, then moved to KTVT/Dallas-Ft. Worth, and WMAR/Baltimore. Uma moved to Boston to anchor and report at WLVI and WBZ in Boston before moving to FOX News Channel in '96. Prayers and condolences to Uma's daughter and family in this difficult time. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/video/former-wbz-anchor-and-reporter-uma-pemmaraju-has-died/ 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/20/#findComment-275964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Jim Mueller, a WJ(K)W and WKYC sportscaster and Cleveland Browns color analyst from 1975-95 has passed away. He was also a longtime spokesperson for (Ed) Mullinax Ford and Pat O'Brien Chevrolet.
