Hall of Fame broadcaster Dick Enberg passed away on Friday (AEDT) in La Jolla, California - he was 82.
Enberg's wife, Barbara, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that her husband failed to get on a flight in San Diego and suspects he died from a heart attack.
Enberg, who retired from broadcasting Padres games in 2016, received numerous broadcasting honors including the Ford C. Frick Award from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the Rozelle Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Gowdy Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
"We are immensely saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of legendary broadcaster Dick Enberg," the Padres said in a release.
"Dick was an institution in the industry for 60 years and we were lucky enough to have his iconic voice behind the microphone for Padres games for nearly a decade.
"On behalf of our entire organization, we send our deepest condolences to his wife, Barbara, and the entire Enberg family."
Enberg worked for CBS Sports for 11 years prior to the Padres, serving as a play-by-play voice for the NFL, college basketball, PGA Golf and U.S. Open tennis.
He also spent 25 years at NBC Sports. In total, Enberg worked 28 Wimbledon tournaments, 10 Super Bowls and eight NCAA basketball title games.
He has been awarded 14 Emmys, nine Sportscaster of the Year awards, the Ronald Reagan Media Award and the Victor Award, recognizing the top sportscaster of the past 40 years.
