The lights have been turned off at Petco Park until next season. The Padres were unable to sweep the Dodgers, losing 9-4 in this evening’s game. However they still walked away on top winning two out of the three game series to end their 2016 season at home.
While many of the players who were out there this evening will be returning to Petco Park come next April one man who some may consider part of the team, hung up his head set and put away his play book for the final time at Petco Park.
Dick Enberg, a hall of fame broadcaster, primary play-by-play announcer for the San Diego Padres, or as many fans may recall, the voice behind the famous "Oh My."
Enberg called his final game in a place where he has grown all too familiar with over the past seven years, Petco Park.
Though he may be setting aside the play book, he has made a permanent mark at Petco Park. This evening prior to the game Enberg was honored with the “Dick Enberg Broadcast Booth”, as well as a standing ovation from both Padres and Dodgers fans.
The impact Enberg has made on baseball fans and sports fans for that matter could be seen though the faces of the players, fans in the crowd, and fellow announcers. Needless to say the legendary announcer will always be able to call Petco Park a home away from home
