Father-Son Duo to Broadcast Rockies Games Together

Drew and Zach Goodman are set to make history as they co-host Colorado Rockies radio broadcasts. This unique father-son pairing in Major League Baseball follows in the footsteps of other broadcast families. Zach, who previously broadcasted for the Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles, recently earned the radio voice position alongside his father, Drew, a veteran TV broadcaster for the team.

Upon hearing the news, Zach called his father, eliciting an emotional reaction from Drew, who described himself as "so incredibly happy" and found the situation "unbelievable" and "surreal." The irony of the moment was heightened as Drew received Zach's call while in Toronto, where another father-son broadcasting duo, Ben and Dan Schulman, are part of the Blue Jays' team.

For the Goodmans, a career in broadcasting, particularly within sports, has been a long-held aspiration. Drew was inspired by sports television's ability to showcase global adventures, while Zach actively pursued a path to follow his father. Zach chose broadcasting for its power to humanize players and enrich the game's narrative for fans.

The family has shared numerous special moments throughout the years, often centered around baseball and travel. From young Zach sitting on his father's lap in the broadcast booth to playing catch in various iconic locations worldwide, these experiences have created a strong bond. This upcoming season will be particularly memorable as they share the broadcast booth, fulfilling a unique dream.
