Enberg died on Dec. 21, 2017, at his La Jolla home. He was 82 years old.
Enberg most recently served as the TV voice of the Padres but stepped down from the role at the end of the 2016 season.
From the Super Bowl to Wimbledon, Enberg was the familiar voice calling some of the biggest sporting events on the planet, saving his signature "Oh My!" call for critical moments.
Among his many roles, Enberg served as the basketball voice of the UCLA Bruins and the baseball voice of the California Angels early in his career.
