Mich.-born Dick Enberg broadcast baseball, love for CMU
Dick Enberg may have formally retired from baseball broadcasting following the 2016 season.
But he still kept up with the game, and when the Padres made a trade with the Phillies last week, he tweeted — yes, tweeted — his analysis, capped by his signature phrase, "Oh, my!"
Enberg, the Michigan-born broadcaster whose rise to fame included a childhood spent on the farms of Armada, Mich., and a college education at Central Michigan University before he went on to a Hall-of-Fame career, died Thursday at the age of 82, a spokesman for CMU confirmed to The News.
He died of a heart attack at home in La Jolla, Calif., according to multiple reports.
