In what I would consider to be a surprising move, 74-year-old broadcaster Dick Enberg is having a change of scenery:
Dick Enberg is leaving his national gig with CBS to become the television voice of the San Diego Padres. I wish there was a way to avoid the obvious pun of responding to that news with a sardonic, “oh my.” [Via Sporting News]
Now there aren’t too many moments that one can really single out with Dick Enberg but let’s just say it it were a major sport event he was probably there. Odd that he’s gonna be calling the Padres considering that they suck. But whatever. It’s his home and you can’t blame the guy.
I tried finding some cool Enberg moments and here are three
Enberg on Letterman in 1991
Um, he looks WAY older there than he does now.
Commencement Address to Marquette
I like how he opened with “Oh My”
Dick Enberg’s 1975 Gameshow “Three for the Money”
What in God’s name is this?
