Chaney was selected by the Reds in the 1996 draft, and later led the Southern League with 23 home runs in 1968, earning him a spot on the Reds' roster in 1969, playing mostly as a backup shortstop behind Reds star Dave Concepcion. His most notable year was 1976, his first season after being traded to Atlanta. As the Braves' regular shortstop, Chaney batted .252 with one HR and 50 RBI. But over the next three seasons he was unable to hold the job against competition from two other players, and he was released at the end of the 1979 season.

DarrelChaney, a former member of the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves, will begin his role as the voice of the Raiders baseball program this afternoon as the station airs the first of nine home games broadcast on WCON 1450-AM.
Chaney, who is the owner and president of Prudential North Georgia Realty in Clarkesville, first became involved with the program when he spoke at the baseball banquet last spring.
Following the banquet, Chaney was involved in a conservation with several people connected to the program, and the suggestion was made that the team should try to get their games broadcast on the radio.
