Welcome back to the Gaslamp Ball Book Club. In chapter 11 of Dick Enberg's "Oh My!" Enberg briefly describes the roles he's had in television and film. For the most part he played a sports broadcaster, but he has also hosted a few sports game shows as well. Highlights of this chapter include Don...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg's "Oh My!" Chapter 10
We started reading Dick Enberg's "Oh My!" on 12/9/2009 for our Gaslamp Ball Book Club soon after it was announced that he would be broadcasting Padres games. Together we've read 9 chapters and become great friends. Tonight we read and discuss Chapter 10. In this chapter Dick Enberg writes about...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Enberg keeps a promise
Dick Enberg promised himself that if he ever wrote a book that he'd devote a chapter to Al McGuire. I've got bad news for you. Enberg wrote a book, it's called Dick Enberg: Oh My! and we're reading it for our book club. Guess the topic of Chapter 9. I'll give you a hint, Enberg keeps his...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Whistling Dicksie with Dick Enberg's "Oh My!"
It feels so good to have our Book Club back together again. In Chapter 8 of Dick Enberg: Oh My! he talks about his time broadcasting NCAA Basketball in the mid-70's. What I'm really trying to tell you is that I had very little interest in this chapter. It makes me sleepy just thinking about...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg on Drysdale and Divorce
Oh My! It's been a while since our book club last met, December of 2009 to be exact, but this is why books have dust jackets. You've all been waiting so patiently. I haven't received one email from you guys insisting that our book club meet again. Not a peep. You must have known I've been busy,...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg is pissed off and pissed on
This is the most successful Gaslamp Ball Book Club yet. In case you're just joining us, we are reading Dick Enberg: Oh My! in hopes that we can better understand our new TV voice of the Padres. We just finished Chapter 6 last night where Enberg talks about doing the Radio Broadcasts for the...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg vs. Jerry Coleman
Can you believe that we've just finished Chapter 5 of Dick Enberg: Oh My! ? As a Trojan, this was the toughest chapter for me to get through, it was all about the years that Enberg was the voice of Bruins Basketball. Blech! Before our next Book Club meeting I need one of you to create a timeline...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg will stop at nothing!
Okay by now you should have read Chapters 3 and 4 of Dick Enberg: Oh My! Chapter 3 was a short chapter highlighting his days as a boxing announcer at KTLA. It's a little bit strange how detailed Enberg was in his early personal life but he glosses over his personal life during this time period. ...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: Dick Enberg used to look like a shaved prostitute
I haven't been feeling well recently, so I've been watching a lot of TV and taking naps. Last night however I was feeling a bit better so I listened to some of Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad and read Chapter 2 of Dick Enberg: Oh My! Let me tell you, it was just what the doctor ordered. Chapter...
Gaslamp Ball Book Club: "Oh My!" by Dick Enberg
We're reading Dick Enberg: Oh My! as part of the Gaslamp Ball Book Club. I received this book for Christmas in 2004 and since it had very little to do with the Padres I tossed it aside, where it found a home on the Island of Misfit Toys. On hearing the news that Dick Enberg had signed on as the...
