    HOUSTON -- Longtime Houston Astros radio announcer Milo Hamilton suffered a heart attack this weekend and was recovering in a Houston hospital on Tuesday.

    Astros' senior vice president of communications Jay Lucas said the 80-year-old underwent an angioplasty and is doing well.

    Hamilton has been calling major league games since 1953 and has been with the Astros since 1985. He began calling only home games in 2006.

    He also has worked for the Cardinals, Braves, Pirates and both Chicago teams. He's called 11 no-hitters, but his most famous call is Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run in 1974.

    He joined the broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.

    I hope he recovers and retires and enjoys his golden years doing what ever it is that makes him happy (unless it's calling Astros games).

    I hope he's fine. He's still very entertaining (even if I don't know what's going on in the game).

    I still dont mind a Milo called game now and then, still some distinctness there (in a good way) with the old school style. Hope he has a good recovery
