by Ron Cervenka It certainly came as no surprise when Dodger fans learned that Fox Sports and ESPN would be covering the 2020 postseason – including the World Series – instead of Dodgers regional sports network SportsNetLA. And even though there are some who actually enjoy listening to Joe Buck (no, really), he can’t hold a candle to the broadcasting team of Joe Davis (who Fox wisely utilized) and Orel Hershiser.
The good news is that all Dodgers postseason games were also carried on AM 570 Sports, the Dodgers flagship radio station, with the familiar voices of Charley Steiner and Rick Monday behind the mic. For Dodger fans willing to deal with the 30-second (muted) television broadcast delay, it was just like old times.
Although the 71-year-old Steiner makes on-air mistakes with alarming and increasing frequency (some rather egregious), Monday, who will be 75 on November 20, is still as sharp as a tack, with a very witty sense of humor.
During the sixth and final game of the just-concluded 2020 World Series, the former Dodger outfielder and 1981 World Series champion had what can only be described as a ‘Vin Scully moment’ during the radio broadcast.
With two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and with 24-year-old Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías needing only one more strike to secure the Dodgers first World Series championship in 32 years and eighth in franchise history, Monday, as if by premonition, said:
“Wherever you are, remember this moment.”
On the very next pitch, Urías struck out Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames looking.

Rick Monday … You Made A Great Call.
Play Ball!

Love listening to Rick Monday. Will never forget his rescue of the USA flag, and now another great moment with that call on the last pitch of the game. He is a very good analyst.
he saves us on a regular basis as steiner gives us bad information.
i truly believed that one of the first things Kasten would do is dump steiner and give us back a clear understanding of what was taking place on the field. i can only assume that either stan doesnt listen to the radio or would prefer we come to the park.
Not saying that Stan Kasten doesn’t have a say in the matter, but this is more in Erik Braverman’s court. He is the Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications & Broadcasting.
If you are so inclined, he would be the guy to send your cards and letters to.
right, perhaps i should have just said “new ownership group” i just kind of hold stan responsible for everything being the actual ‘baseball guy’ in the group. Our voice hasn’t been heard since Derrick Hall was here.
