Dick Enberg, sports broadcaster 1935-2017




The Newsday obituary

Thanks to Bob Balascio, the last paragraph of Mr. Enberg's obituary:

“I loved acknowledging the subtle arrogance of Hall of Famer Rod Carew’s drag bunt,” he said. “The sleight-of-hand of Brooks Robinson magically reducing doubles into 5-3 putouts. The towering arc of a Ted Williams mortar shot deposited in the bleachers high. The classic confrontation of the best hitter against the best pitcher and the immaculately executed ballet of a double play.”
He added, “I love the double play.”

Me too, Dick. Me too.
