 Enberg  retired from  his  TV job with the San Diego Padres in October 2016.
The team released a statement on  Enberg 's death:
"We are immensely saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of  legendary broadcaster Dick Enberg .  Dick  was an institution in the industry for 60 years and we were lucky enough to have  his  iconic voice behind the microphone for Padres games for nearly a decade. On behalf of our entire organization  we send our deepest condolences to his wife  Barbara  and the entire  Enberg  family."
Endberg was known for exclaiming "Oh my!" So much so  that his 2004 autobiography is titled: Dick Enberg  Oh My!
 Enberg 's big break came when he was chosen to call UCLA basketball games. During that nine-year stint  the Bruins won eight NCAA titles.
When asked what was the most historically important event he covered   Enberg  replied  "The Game of the Century." In that 1968 game  the University of Houston Cougars beat UCLA to snap the Bruin's 47-game winning streak.
During his time behind the microphone  Enberg  had many broadcast partners  including Al McGuire  Merlin Olsen and Don Drysdale.
 Enberg 's wife Barbara told the San Diego Union-Tribune that her husband died Thursday morning at his home in La Jolla  Calif.
"Barbara Enberg said the family found out later in the day when  Dick Enberg  failed to get off a flight in Boston  where they were scheduled to meet. She said her husband had appeared to be waiting for a car that was set to shuttle him to the San Diego airport for a 6:30 a.m. flight. " 'He was dressed with his bags packed at the door ' she said. 'We think it was a heart attack.' "
