Padres to name Enberg lead TV voiceCourtesy
San Diego Union Tribune
(December 2, 2009) The Padres will announce Thursday that nationally acclaimed sportscaster Dick Enberg will be their No. 1 play-by-play TV voice in 2010.
According to multiple sources, Enberg will work more than 100 games on Channel 4 San Diego. A club spokesman said he could not confirm Enberg’s hiring. Craig Nichols, Channel 4 vice president and general manager, declined to comment. Enberg, who lives in La Jolla, could not be reached for comment. Mark Neely, who replaced Matt Vasgersian as the Padres’ top TV voice last year, is expected to work the games Enberg does not work. All indications are that Mark Grant will return for his 14th season as an analyst. Nichols said after the 2009 season that he hoped to have Grant and Tony Gwynn back as analysts. Enberg, who will be 75 in January, has worked scores of major events, including several Olympic Games and Super Bowls, plus the 1982 World Series, but he has not been a local play-by-play baseball announcer for about a quarter-century. He was the voice of the California Angels from 1969-78 and then worked one season of TV with the Angels in 1985. _______________________
