This week on Sports With Friends:

Longtime play-by-play announcer Paul Olden is currently the public address announcer for the new Yankee Stadium. He’s been the only PA announcer since the new Stadium opened in 2009. His storied career started in southern California. Over the years he has called games for ESPN, the then-Cleveland Indians, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the New York Yankees, New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, UCLA Bruins, and even more.

He was a WFAN sports anchor when Seth Everett was an intern at the station in the summer of 1994. They were together when calls started coming in about a possible OJ Simpson murder case. He also was the reporter who interviewed Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and infamously asked what he thought of Dave Kingman’s performance. He is also an avid photographer and went back to school in his 50s.

This episode was recorded before Game 5 of the 2022 American League Division Series between the Yankees and Cleveland Guardians.
