Greg Schulte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greg Schulte is an American sportscaster, and is best known as the radio play-by-play voice of the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball team, a position he has held since the team's inaugural season in 1998. Schulte's nickname is "The Gub'nuh" (like "The Governor" with an exaggerated English accent). He is known for his unique home run call, "Deep drive..warning track..wall..you can touch 'em all (player's name).[1] Schulte's voice will forever be linked with one of baseball's greatest moments as he delivered the call of Luis Gonzalez's ninth-inning single to win Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. [2]

Gonzalez digs in at the plate. The stretch...and the 0-1 delivery...And a little blooper...base hit, Diamondbacks win! They're the World Champions! Gonzalez did it! The Diamondbacks have unseated...the New York Yankees as the World Champions. The Diamondbacks win it on the Gonzalez base hit over the corner infield and they are the champions...of the 2001 World Series. Folks, it doesn't get any better than that. Honk your horns, stomp your feet, celebrate...in Arizona! The Diamondbacks have won the World Series!

Schulte called his 3,000 Diamondbacks game on April 19, 2017.[3]

Schulte also covered the Phoenix Suns for many years, where he first produced the broadcasts, and later served as a color commentator to Al McCoy.

Schulte was the original pre-game and post-game host for the Arizona Cardinals.
