Heads22 1,205 Report post Posted April 2 Terrible. When I went to college and only had the option to listen on the radio, I couldn't understand his appeal. Then it got to the point when it was annoying when he wasn't on the air because I was so used to him. This sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last spring training (2019) he sounded really rough, but he picked it up as year went along. I remember thinking then something was wrong. When he signed on for another year I figured he was fine. very sad. RIP Farmio the best call of the World Series “Sox Lead! SIX FOUR!” 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pants Rowland 17 Report post Posted April 2 RIP Farmer. I confess was never a fan of his broadcast style, but hearing this news just drained the life out of me. He always seemed like a good guy and a member of the White Sox family. Another sad sad day, indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palehose1 19 Report post Posted April 2 He certainly fulfilled a dream- a kid from the South Side of Chicago pitching for the White Sox, making an All Star game and then being a Sox broadcaster for 30 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southsider2k5 3,753 Report post Posted April 2 30 minutes ago, demonbluess said: Wow. End of an era. RIP Farmio He had health problems for a long time. He had already had an organ transplant (kidney IIRC) and was a big advocate for organ donations. He was immuno-compromised and I remember him not traveling to Toronto during one of the last outbreaks (SARS or something similar) to avoid being exposed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turnin' two 735 Report post Posted April 2 Terrible news. Growing up, we didn't have cable so we listened to games. Every night. Ed has been part of the soundtrack of my life for nearly 30 years. Listening to him while playing backyard ball, at the dinner table and every time I was in the car. It won't be the same with out him. Rest in Peace, Ed. Turn on the fireworks! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
