Eric Nadel (born May 16, 1951) is an American sports announcer on radio broadcasts for the Texas Rangers baseball organization.

1972

He developed his skills at Brown University (class of 1972), announcing hockey and football games on radio station WBRU.

He had minor league hockey play-by-play stints in Muskegon, Oklahoma City, and Dallas, and was also the radio voice of the Dallas Diamonds of the Women's Professional Basketball League.

1979

The Rangers hired Nadel in 1979, and he called games on television and radio in his first three seasons.

1982

Beginning in 1982, he began a 13-year run with Mark Holtz as the radio team on WBAP, returning to the television booth for one year in 1984.

1989

Among Nadel's most memorable calls was the 5000th strikeout of Nolan Ryan's career on August 22, 1989.

His main home run call is "That ball is history!"

Both he and Public Address (PA) announcer Chuck Morgan have been affectionately referred to as "the Voice[s] of the Texas Rangers".

The arrival of Rubén Sierra in Texas motivated Nadel to learn Spanish.

Nadel is now a fluent Spanish speaker, having taken part in Spanish-language game broadcasts in a number of Latin American countries.

Nadel took a leave of absence through the first 109 games of the 2023 season, in order to seek treatment for anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

He returned to the booth in August, and called the Rangers' first World Series win that November.

In 1991, Nadel was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame.

1995

Nadel is active in animal causes and was one of the founders of the first leash-free dog park in the DFW Metroplex at White Rock Lake in Dallas.

He stages benefit concerts for non-profit organizations, including Focus on Teens and Cafe Momentum, and is an active advocate for mental health organizations such as NAMI and The Campaign to Change Direction.

2006

In May 2006, Nadel announced that he had signed a "lifetime contract" with the Rangers, allowing him to continue on their broadcast team until he chooses to retire.

He later said that he hopes to outlive his contract.

2009

Beginning in 2009, he was partnered with longtime ESPN and former Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs announcer Dave Barnett, who also did Rangers games on television with Brad Sham in the late 80s and early 90s.
