My least favorite post to do every year, but a tribute from my personal collection to those Angels we lost in 2017.
Dick Enberg
Angels Broadcaster 1969-1978
Next to Vin Scully, my most favorite announcer voice is Dick Enberg, and it helps that he called the Angels games I listened to and watched in my youth.

Sad to lose all these great guys.
I'm sure I say this every year... but we sure lost a lot of great athletes in 2017. I was really bummed to hear about Enberg and Johnny Bower this week.
