Bob Carpenter has been a fixture within the lives of Washington Nationals followers ever since 2006. Likely assume that Bob was the one play by play man in Nats historical past. Nevertheless, the 72 12 months outdated introduced Yesterday that this will probably be his final season within the sales space. Goodbye Bob, we want you all the very best shifting ahead.
We had a reasonably good feeling that this was coming for some time now. Bob has had a lighter workload lately. With the Nationals probably shifting off of MASN, this feels just like the time for a brand new period within the broadcast sales space.
Because the season unfolds, we’ll bear in mind Bob’s profession and look again on a few of his best calls. Bob was the epitome of consistency on the decision. He was not a lot of a screamer, however he didn’t must be. He has such a terrific voice for TV and an immense information of the sport.
One factor I hope Bob retains round in some capability are his scorebooks. They’ve turn out to be a fixture of his on-line presence. Whereas he gained’t be watching each Nats sport going ahead, I hope we will see some scorebooks of his on-line!
Hopefully the Nats honor Bob in the way in which he deserves as nicely. He really is a legend of the franchise and deserves to be within the ring of honor. Children like me grew up hanging to each phrase of his, and now as a younger man, I nonetheless admire Bob a lot.
With the Nats headed to pastures greener than MASN, will probably be fascinating to see what they do with the sales space. Will or not it’s a Dan Kolko/Kevin Frandsen sales space, or will we see some new faces? Now we have loads of time to debate that, however to Bob, thanks and goodbye!
