The Silent Farewell Tour of Dick Enberg

By 1961, Enberg headed out west, working as an assistant professor and baseball coach at San Fernando Valley State College, now known as Cal State Northridge. He eventually left the academic and coaching life to return to broadcasting, anchoring sports reports and announcing UCLA Bruins basketball, Los Angeles Rams football, and California Angels baseball. It was during his time with the Angels that he coined the phrase, “and the halo shines tonight,” which he would say after every home win. The phrase referenced the large, illuminating halo on the Angels scoreboard that would light up the sky following a win.
