Long-time Padre announcer Jerry Coleman has made the broadcast wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Great news for a great man. Here's a line from his military service:
Served as Marine pilot in World War II (1943-1945) and the Korean War (1952-1953). Received two Distinguished Flying Crosses and 13 Air Medals.
Congratulations to Jerry Coleman on his induction yesterday to the Hall of Fame. Jerry is a true American hero. Semper FI !
Despite hs long association with the Padres, all Yankee fans still believe he is a menber of our family, first and foremost. From his days as Rookie of the Year and World Series MVP, to his years as a Yankee announcer calling some of the great moments in Yankee history, we remember Jerry fondly.
