There was something special about them Summer Nights when Marty and Joe were on the radio in the neighborhoods of Cincinnati. People on their porch, back porch and the corner stores with the game going just gave you a special warm feeling that we will never have again. Miss ya Joe! God bless Marty!
Mary's been the voice of the Reds my whole life and its crazy to think about how it won't be like that anymore. I will miss him and I wish him good luck in his retirement. #ThankYouMarty
Hes been in my life as the voice since I was 4 years old. My greatest memory is growing up poor, hitting rocks with a wiffle ball bat across the Miami river listening to him and Joe. in the 70s and early 80s. Although I now live in Texas, I would never watch or listen to the Reds without expecting his voice. I will miss this voice and The Reds will never be the same. 40 + years belong to Marty Brennaman. You gave us great memories in bad places and made it a better for us. Congrats on your retirement. All the best on your endeavours with you and your family
Twins fan here but enjoy Baseball altogether, Congratulations on your Retirement. Marty Brennaman was a great Broadcaster and you don't even have to be a Reds fan to appreciate his work.
Thank You Marty for all the years behind the microphone. “ This One Belongs To The Reds” is your signature. Have a great retirement. God bless you Sir.
Marty - As a kid I growing up in the suburbs I listened to every baseball game I could pick up on the radio after dark - Chicago both teams, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, New York both teams, St Louis, even Kansas City when the conditions were right. Listening to you I felt like I had a front row seat at the ballpark. Thank you for everything you gave to the game and the fans. This one belongs to Marty Brennaman.
As a 62 year old "Youngster"...I LOVE MARTY......Blessed to have been around during his years with The Red Legs.....The Banana Phone will NEVER be the Same.....Cheers Everyone
@@tydiab8838 Yes sir...was a Junior in High School and me and a couple of buddies would listen to The Reds on WLW--- The Big One on the weekends...it helped keep us out of Trouble...LOL....My kids, who are in their mid to late 30's, have always loved Marty and The Gang....it's all they have ever known! Cheers Ty
Marty, thank you for all the memories. You were a staple for 45 years of my life. You were the only reds play by play person I ever known as a reds fan. I remember watching games on TV muted with You and Joe calling games. THANK YOU
Thank you so much Marty, you'll be greatly missed! When I moved here at 5 years old & moved in with my grandparents, I was a scared, nervous little boy moving to a totally new place with people I didn't really know at the time. But my first night there my grandpa (RIP) was listening to you and the old lefty. He told me to pull up a chair & listen to the game & from that moment I fell in love with baseball & especially the Reds! You & my grandpa help ease me into a rough situation & all because of the way you call a game, thanks again Marty & all the best in your future endeavors. You're forever a Red!
I have never known Reds baseball without Marty. Today a part of my childhood has left. Such a bittersweet day for me. thank you Marty for all of the memories.
I echo other fans. I'm 44 and have never known a Reds season without Marty. He and Joe Nuxhall brought the game to me as a kid. It wont be the same without that Titanic struggle. Congrats on a fine career sir.
You have been the voice of the Reds for almost as long as I have been a Reds Fan. Thank You Marty & I miss Joe, you guys are the VERY BEST ! #THANKYOUMARTY
Marty I grew up listening to you and Joe, your voices were so comforting to me. When Joe died, a piece of me died. Now that your gone from the radio booth, you can never be replaced. Never!! Thank you Marty for all you have done for the Reds, and the great game of baseball. We will never forget you!!
I'm sure he will have fun in retirement...and I'm also glad he mentioned Tommy Thrall. I've listened to Tommy for 6 seasons as the voice of the Blue Wahoos and we were thrilled he was asked to go to Cincy and work with Marty. Reds Nation will like Tommy. He's a number one broadcaster.
I'm a Cardinals fan but always respected and enjoyed Marty's work when I had the chance to listen. Always sad to see the long-term guys go, especially the classy ones... Best of luck to both Marty and Reds
I wonder how many people know he was the national radio announcer for the iconic Christian Laettner shot in the Duke/Kentucky 1992 classic? I never lived in the Midwest so I only know him for his national radio work on college football and basketball but he was really, really good at both.
From a general person who loves the sport of baseball that being said a big cubs fan, all that set aside congratulations on a good long healthy broadcasting career in reds broadcasting and more enjoy retirement and best of luck to you and your family!
I grew up around Dayton, OH. Marty's first season was when I was 4. So I have no memory of anything other than Marty being the voice of the Reds on radio. It sure will be weird not hearing him any longer. My favorite call of his will always be the Dave Pallone Game. I also loved the "apology" the stupid commissioner forced him to make afterwards. You could tell he didn't mean a word of it, and I loved it.
This was very touching and what makes sports and baseball in particular, a wonderful experience. Marty is a Reds Legend, although all baseball fans should pay tribute to Marty Brennaman. Enjoy your retirement.
AND THIS ONE BELONGS TO MARTY!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RETIREMENT MARTY. THANK YOU FOR REDS RADIO ON WLW. YOU WERE A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. HEARING YOUR VOICE IN EXCREMENT AS OUR HOME TOWN BOYS HIT HOME RUNS AND MADE ABSOLUTELY AMAZEING PLAYS MADE ME HAPPY. GOD BLESS AND HAPPY RETIREMENT
Just got to see Marty tonight as the key speaker at the Moeller sports stagg. Feb 2022 Marty is doin well and still a favorite. Great career. Great retirement.
As a kid I thought Marty and Joe were the only baseball announcers on the radio. I just figured they called every teams baseball games for them. Then one day I learned how to tune the dial on accident. The radio picked up a station I guess out of St. Louis and it was a Cardinals-Mets game. I was shocked that the familiar voice of Marty and Joe had been replaced by whoever the announcers were at the time, and I didn't like it. I figured out quick how to tune it back to WLW. In the 9th inning of Game 4 of the '90 World Series, my dad turned the TV down so we could listen to Marty and Joe call it. Some 22 years later, I turned the TV down so my kids could hear Marty call both of Bailey's no-hitters. In the words of Joe Nuxhall "Thank ya Marty"
As a long time Met fan, I can understand. I grew up on 2 long time broadcasters from Day 1. Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy. After Murphy retired< within 6 months he was gone. Kiner retired, but stuck around from time to time until his death in 2014. Salute to Marty and the Cincinnati Reds.
Very nice, I hate to see the long time voice of teams, I like, retire. Guys that do play by play become the team, Vin Scully will always be the Dodgers guy for as long as the team exists. Best of Luck Sir enjoy your retirement
Marty represents class when in Cincinnati sports, both the Reds and Bengals currently represent an ASS. Fans are starting to catch on even though there isn't a damn thing to do in Cincinnati anymore anyway.
There was something special about them Summer Nights when Marty and Joe were on the radio in the neighborhoods of Cincinnati. People on their porch, back porch and the corner stores with the game going just gave you a special warm feeling that we will never have again. Miss ya Joe! God bless Marty!
"And This one belongs to The Reds"
-Marty Brennaman
I'm going to miss that!!!
Although we haven't heard it much in the last few years
I'm not a Reds Fan but on this Day, This one belongs to Marty Brennaman!
I grew up listening to WLW Marty and Joe to reds baseball on my small transistor radio I grew up in Marion Indiana 120 miles from Cincinnati
You will be greatly missed, Mr Brennaman. You have been the Reds announcer for my whole life and it won’t be the same without you.
Mary's been the voice of the Reds my whole life and its crazy to think about how it won't be like that anymore. I will miss him and I wish him good luck in his retirement.

@Daniel Treadwell Maybe not by little twats like you but by the vast majority of Reds fans, his voice calling Reds games will be missed.
Marty. This guy belonged to the reds! And we love him for it.
Won't be the same without you. For 42 years, I've never known another Reds broadcaster. We'll miss ya, brother.
Thank You Marty for all the years behind the microphone.

And I’m a man of faith! And there is a long drive by Castellanos to make it a 4-0 game.
Word is Marty moved to San Francisco

When I was a young lad, living outside of Louisville Kentucky. I used to listen to him on my little transistor radio. I was a huge Reds fan back then.
Not much to root for today
Huh Cheif
What a man
Doesn’t get any better
Great man. Sad to see him & his entire era go. 😢
Marty and Joe forever
Marty, thanks.
Love u marty my whole life
Happy Retirememt Marty Brennaman
Kramer misses you!
I’ll miss you Marty!
What I thought was kinda nice is Thom on opening day this year said "This one belongs to the Reds" as a tribute to Marty when the Reds won.
Class
I'll remember some of your reds games I heard on wlw radio.
That one belongs to the Reds!
Simply the best, next to Vin!
#ThanksMarty
What he said about gays unbelievable
The voice of doom!!! No mas
Joe Nuxhall should be Enshrined in The Broadcasters Wing of Cooperstown right alongside Marty Brenneman!!!
Very nice, I hate to see the long time voice of teams, I like, retire. Guys that do play by play become the team, Vin Scully will always be the Dodgers guy for as long as the team exists. Best of Luck Sir enjoy your retirement
We all know vin scully is the best but if you are from cincinnati you refuse to believe that...marty forever!
Free Marty
Why is the audio and video out of sync? Kind of ruins the mood.
GO REDS! Go away.
Just like the baseball team. Out of sync
@@travismcdonald6576 they have for many years ☹️
I liked Marty but his son is much more likable. I hope Thom broadcasts Reds games for years to come.
Might want to check the date on your milk.
Uhhhhhhhh
@@jamesramsay867 There is nothing witty about your comment.
@@NathanDygert Uhhhhhhhh you're a ret#rd. Oh no, I'm canceled for using the "R word." What a clown world.
@Mr. Brenman21 Enough wit to elicit a reaction from a salad bar like yourself.
is his son, Thom, not taking over?
No, he does a majority of the TV broadcasts.
Thom got cancelled
Man do I miss Marty! Tommy Thrall destroyed listening to the games after he left. He needs fired so bad
He should have retired after 2020.Why? So it would have been a 6th decade

Great Chili and Ice cream though..
They have been a complete dumpster fire since
And it got worse when his son made that comment earlier that he is deeply ashamed of.
Arrogant old man. Not a fan at all
