For Orioles fans, the duo of Joe Angel and Fred Manfra has been synonymous with O’s baseball for nearly two decades now, with the two announcing many a game on the radio, good years and bad. In Thursday’s announcement of this year’s radio broadcast team, the Orioles said that will be coming to an end: Manfra is retiring from full-time duties after 24 years.
The other familiar voices will all be returning to 105.7 in Baltimore to broadcast all 162 O’s regular season games. Angel is coming back for his 18th season on the radio mic, and according to the release, will be partnered with Jim Hunter for most games.
