Spotlight on Phillies PA Announcer, Dan Baker

[@jc121081]

Heard his voice through all my youth, and just like Sarge said. Every time at the 'Park, to this day when you hear him... goosebumps. This is the guy that keeps you in the game at the game. Great guy!

What a PA voice of one Mr. Dan Baker,now i won't lie i am a sf giants fan but i was also a phillies phan when i was a bit younger but nobody and i mean nobody has a better public address voice than Mr.Baker since 1972 he's been doing this,i mean when you're watching a phillies game at the vet and now at citizens bank park you can tell immediately that smooth voice is Mr.Baker behind the mic,even as a giants fan your by far my favorite PA announcer of all time!!!

Dan has been an inspiration for me personally for many years in Philadelphia. He helped me get back onto the PA microphone aside from my radio work, rekindling a passion I had starting back as a student at Cal many years ago. I'm proud to have been able to consider him a mentor & a friend; he helped grease the skids for me to join the game-day team at Drexel University. I've grown into many other jobs throughout the Delaware Valley. I couldn't have done it without Dan, hands down one of the best people I've ever known, in or out of the business. 👍

DAN BAKER AND THE PHILLIES =THE BEST!!!!! I HAVE BEEN A PHILLIES FAN FOR 53 YEARS!!!!!

[@AshburnStadium]

There is one custom call that I would love to hear Dan do. "Now batting for the Phillies, number one, center fielder, Richie Ashburn!"

I've Heard That Dan Baker is a Nice Person In Real Life Since He Works For My Favorite Baseball Team The Phillies Let's Go Phillies!

[@larrycopeland2413]

We Philly (not a misspell) fans have been spoiled all of these years with Mr. Baker and Mr. Lou Nolan. Talk about the voices of their respective teams... wow. I remember when the Phillies had a particular rightfielder whose name almost sounded like West Chester, the town where I grew up... Wes Chamberlain. Mr. Baker would always say that name, "Rightfielder Wes..." then a pause long enough to hear the echo of "Wes" in the Vet... "Chamberlain."

Came back for his 50th year. He’s terrific.

[@ECWnWWF]

when I hear his voice I automatically think Veterans Stadium ....and the way he would announce: now batting for the Phillies, Center Fielder, Leeeeeeeeeeeeenny Dykstra

[@slgordon3]

Me too. “First baseman, Von Haaaaaaayes.”

[@ClassicRocker61]

Dan Baker, Lou Nolan, the late and great Dave Zinkoff and Rex Barney

[@AshburnStadium]

Dan Baker is truly a Philadelphia institution.

[@robertgaugler319]

I always thought that Dan Baker's voice was very similar to that of the ring anouncer from Rocky 2.

[@gmo709]

He is the best of all time. Dan, get back to CBP man. We miss you. Giles nailed that hire.

[@leilanideville9468]

Dan Baker is to the Phillies as Johnny Gilbert is to Jeopardy! Compare the two voices, it's remarkable how similar they sound

[@GLee-oe3op]

Didn’t he also do some Eagles games?

[@mikelangford9188]

With his voice, you knew you were in Philly.

[@bigjake2295]

Mets TV announcers today noted the absence of Dan Baker. He is as much a part of CBP as the grass. Get well soon!

[@ginoinencino2528]

And now, here's the host of Jeopardy!..........
