Joe Angel is a radio play-by-play announcer for the Baltimore
Orioles of Major League Baseball. A native of Bogota, Colombia, Angel
is famous for his proper pronunciation of Latin players' names.
As teenager, Angel immigrated with his family to the United States,
eventually settling in the San Francisco Bay Area. In high school he
played baseball and football (teaming with O. J. Simpson on the latter),
and after graduating from City College of San Francisco began a career in
broadcasting.
In the 1970s Angel broadcast for the San
Francisco Giants, as well as Stanford University football and
University of San Francisco basketball. Stints with the Oakland
Athletics, Minnesota Twins,
and New York Yankees
followed, before Angel's arrival in Baltimore 1988. In 1995 he left the
Orioles to become the Florida Marlins'
first radio voice; in 2002 he returned to the Giants (teaming with former
Orioles partner Jon Miller); and in 2004
began a second tenure with the Orioles.
Angel's son, Jonathan, was one of the stars of the teen sitcom Saved
by the Bell: The New Class.
