Dick Enberg remembered for long career and 'Oh, my!' catchphrase

SAN DIEGO -- Screenwriter Bobby Herbeck was watching the Golf Channel recently when some highlights from some late 1990s broadcasts came on, including a few punctuated by the trademark catchphrase of his pal Dick Enberg -- "Oh, my!"

"He's not gone. He's still here," Herbeck told the crowd at Saturday's celebration of life service for Enberg, who died of a heart attack on Dec. 21 at 82. "That's the beauty of this. Olympics, baseball, Super Bowls, you name it, he did it."

Enberg was fondly remembered by former broadcasting partners, athletes and friends on a drizzly morning at Petco Park, the downtown home of the San Diego Padres.
