Story
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 Florida Marlins on the Marlins Radio Network.
Van Horne spent 32 years of his broadcasting career with the Montreal Expos. In 2000, as the Expos had not secured an English radio or television contract, Van Horne broadcast the season on the Internet. With the Expos broadcast situation still unsettled for the 2001 season, Van Horne left at the end of 2000 to broadcast for the Florida Marlins. He projects much enthusiasm and excitement with signature calls of "Hi again, everybody. Glad to have you aboard for this 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. He will receive the award on July 24, 2011 in Cooperstown, New York.
