Joe Angel

Joseph "Joe" Angel is a radio play-by-play announcer for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball. A native of Bogotá, Colombia, Angel is famous for his proper pronunciation of Latin players' names.

As a teenager, Angel first emigrated with his family to Chicago, before 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 (1977-8), as well as Stanford University football and University of San Francisco basketball. Stints with the Minnesota Twins (1984-6), Baltimore Orioles (1988-90, 1992) and New York Yankees(1991) followed. In by|1993 he left the Yankees to become the Florida Marlins' first radio voice, and was behind the microphone for the Marlins' first world championship in 1997. After two years with ESPN (2000-1), in by|2002 he returned to the Giants (teaming with former Orioles partner Jon Miller); and in by|2004 began a second tenure with the Orioles.

Angel always ends a home team win with "Put this one in the win column!"

He also has a notable home run call, "Hasta la vista pelota!"

Angel's son, Jonathan, was one of the stars of the teen sitcom "".
