I can remember the Reds being on a west coast trip playing the Dodgers or whoever and Dad would have the game on blasting out of his bedroom radio late into the night. All the upstairs windows open, fans going, we didn't have AC yet in 1974. Marty and Joe were just a part of my childhood.

It's hard for me to imagine both of them being gone. I haven't heard who is replacing him.

I remember when Marty replaced Al Micheals and wondered, "Who is this Marty guy?" The most memorable moment of Marty was him screaming, Reds win the pennant! Reds win the pennant!"  Heck, I still remember Waite Hoyte and his rain delay's.. 
My grandfather was around baseball most of his life, player and coach in Dayton Ameture ball many many moons ago so I listened to his never ending baseball stories even though he was stone deaf. 
The Reds radio broadcasts really began to bore the heck out of me when it seemed like the only thing they wanted to discuss was which restaurant they went to or their golf scores.. Brantly never really did impress me as a broadcaster. Joe and Marty were and still are the gold standard of radio broadcasts..
