With the Los Angeles Dodgers playing in the National League Division Series finale tomorrow in Washington, we couldn’t resist sharing our own exciting Dodger's related news…
Today we formally announce that the amazing Ross Porter will emcee this year’s holiday fundraiser benefitting the New West Symphony!
Ross Porter is an American sportscaster, known for his 28-year tenure 1977-2004 as a play-by-play announcer for Los Angeles Dodgers baseball. Amongst his many accolades, Porter is the only broadcaster to have been the voice of a World Series champion (1981 and 1988 Dodgers) and a college basketball champion (with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1990). Porter was known for providing fans with statistical information on players during his broadcasts. He announced the last two out of the six Dodgers World Series titles. Ross was inducted into the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2005 with Vin Scully, his colleague of 28 years, as his presenter.
On the eve of such an important night for Dodgers fans everywhere we want you to know that you'll have the opportunity to see legendary sportscaster Ross Porter in person on December 9 when the New West Symphony League presents the annual gala. We are thrilled to have Ross Porter on board for one of our most popular events of the year!
