Dave Van Horne

Dave Van Horne

Dave Van Horne, a native of Easton, Pennsylvania, is a Major League Baseball announcer. He is the lead radio play-by-play announcer for the Miami Marlins on the Marlins Radio Network. He is well known for his "El Presidente, El Perfecto!" call when Dennis Martinez pitched his perfect game on July 28th, 1991 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Van Horne spent 32 years of his broadcasting career with the Montreal Expos, 15 of those years partnered with former Dodger great Duke Snider. In 2000, as the Expos had not secured an English radio or television contract, Van Horne broadcast the season on the Internet.[1] With the Expos broadcast situation still unsettled for the 2001 season, Van Horne left at the end of 2000 to broadcast for the Marlins. He projects much enthusiasm and excitement with signature calls of "Thanks Duke and Hi again, everybody. Glad to have you aboard for today's game..." at the start of every game and "up, up and away" for every home run. Van Horne broadcast the last Expos game in Montreal from the Marlins broadcast booth in 2004.

Van Horne is the 2011 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.[2] He received the award on July 23, 2011 in Cooperstown, New York.[3]
