Talk about an end of an era. Today my friend Marty Brennaman calls his last Reds game before calling it a career. Marty is a true professional and an even better person. I couldn’t be happier for Marty and the entire Brennaman family for the legacy he has left behind. Congrats.

Today marks the end of an incredible era of Major League Baseball as Marty Brennaman calls his final @Reds game. He’s one of the best to ever do it and has been the voice of multiple generations. Savor tonight, Marty, and enjoy retirement! Thanks for giving so much to the game!

Steve Stone, White Sox broadcaster
The game loses a few greats every year and Thursday will be Marty Brennaman’s last broadcast for the Cincinnati Reds. He always told it like it was. He ruffled some feathers. The front office and the players had problems with his opinions. The fans loved him. We’ve lost a legend

Joel Luckhaupt, Reds statistician
Some Marty Brennaman by the numbers. He's called:
• 7 post-season series clinchers for the Reds
• 7 no-hitters (4 by Reds including a perfect game)
• Hits #3000 and #4192 and #4256 for Pete Rose
• 500th & 600th HR by Griffey (plus #500 by Sammy Sosa)

Congrats to my good friend & favorite broadcaster Marty Brennaman as he retires today. I loved listening to Marty & Joe Nuxhall as a kid in Cincinnati. My dream came true when Marty called my HR while I was playing for San Diego. God bless & good health, Marty. @Reds #ThanksMarty pic.twitter.com/8UCnMKj4Gy
