Former MLB relief pitcher and longtime Chicago White Sox radio broadcaster Ed Farmer died Wednesday night at 70.
11 seasons in the major leagues
“His experience as a major league All-Star pitcher, his wry sense of clubhouse humor, his love of baseball and his passion for the White Sox combined to make White Sox radio broadcasts the sound of summer for millions of fans," said chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in a statement."Ed grew up a Sox fan on the south side of Chicago and his allegiance showed every single night on the radio as he welcomed his ‘friends’ to the broadcast. I am truly devastated by the loss of my friend.
"My heart is broken, but my mind is at peace knowing my dear friend is no longer suffering," Jackson said in a statement."Ed was a competitor who also was everyone’s best friend. I saw first-hand how hard Ed fought each and every day and season after season to keep himself healthy and prepared to broadcast White Sox baseball."
