Ned Martin:

I moved to the Boston area in 1978 and enjoyed many broadcasts by Ned Martin and Bob Montgomery. Our favorite Ned-ism was, "Watch out, Monty," everytime a foul ball was hit back to the booth. If I'm at a game with my friends now, and a foul ball goes over our heads, we'll say, almost in unison, "Watch out, Monty!"

A few years ago at ESPN, I was sitting at my desk, and Jeff Bennett was watching a Red Sox game. Jeff's about 15 years younger than me. A foul ball was hit back toward the booth, and he says, "Watch out, Monty!" And I thought we were the only ones.

We'll miss you, Ned.
