Legendary Dick Enberg has joined the team as the honorary chairperson for the San Diego Senior Games. Richard Alan “Dick” Enberg (born January 9, 1935) is an American sportscaster currently employed by the San Diego Padres, CBS, and ESPN. His current duties include play-by-play for Padres telecasts on 4SD and coverage of three Grand Slam professional tennis tournaments for CBS, ESPN and ESPN2. He is well-known for his signature catchphrase (“Oh, my!”) that he uses after exciting and outstanding athletic plays.
Enberg has a life full of achievement, including nine National Sportscaster of the Year awards from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (and induction into that organization’s Hall of Fame), five “Sportscaster of the Year” awards from the American Sportscasters Association, the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Pete Rozelle Award, the NBA’s Curt Gowdy Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Enberg is the only sportscaster thus far to win Emmys in three categories (broadcasting, writing, and producing), and in 1973 became the first U.S. sportscaster to visit the People’s Republic of China.
We are proud to have Enberg here as part of our team and are fully preparing for this year’s North County and San Diego Senior Games. We have more exiting news in store for you over the next few weeks.
