I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only people I've listened to longer than Marty Brennaman are my mom and dad.

That is all.
Reds radio play-by-play legend Marty Brennaman will retire after this coming season. One of the great baseball voices, and the soundtrack of my childhood summers.

For a majority of us, Marty has done the Reds radio for our entire lives. It will be very difficult to get used to someone else, and Marty will be greatly missed. #Reds #MartyBrennaman

I grew up idolizing Marty Brennaman. No one could quite paint a picture like he can. He is a true legend. 2019 will be special.

Well, now one of the big questions involving the Reds is who replaces Marty Brennaman?
