SAN DIEGO -- Padres television broadcaster Dick Enberg announced during the on-air telecast of Wednesday night's game against the Giants that he would retire following the 2016 season as the primary play-by-play host for Fox Sports San Diego.
Before the finale of the three-game series at Petco Park on Thursday, Enberg spoke about what went into his decision to retire, while sharing memories and stories about his time with the Padres.
"It's been a struggle all year thinking about it, but I am really happy I made the decision," said Enberg, who has been San Diego's play-by-play announcer for six seasons and was honored by baseball's Hall of Fame in July with the Ford C.
