RIP Rory Markas (Angels & USC Announcer )

I wanted to say rest in peace to my old buddy Rory Markas who was the LA Angels and USC baseball play by play announcer. He passed away on Mon and they are saying it was an apparent heart attack. That's just sad news. My prayers go out to Rory and to all of his family and friends.

Rory was an old buddy of mine. I first met Rory back in the late 80's when we were working together at an Italian restaurant. At the time he was still an up and coming announcer and was doing a limited schedule of USC Baseball games. I still remember when we all went bowling, shot pool, and all hung out. He was definitely a classy guy.
