Daily News | Phillies announcer Larry Andersen to call fewer games: ‘This was not an easy decision’
The longtime Phillies radio announcer is reducing his role further this season, where he’ll call just 40 home weekend games at Citizens Bank Park alongside play-by-play announcer Scott Franzke. The Phillies will turn to four former players — Michael Bourn, Chad Durbin, Erik Kratz, and Kevin Stocker — to call the remaining 122 games during the regular season alongside Franzke.
Andersen joined the Phillies as a color commentator in 1998, replacing the late Richie Asburn following his death in 1997. But Anderson’s relationship with the team dates back to 1983, his first of two stints pitching for the team during his 17-year MLB career.
Andersen reduced his role with the Phillies ahead of the 2018, where he eliminated the need to travel all summer by only calling games at Citizens Bank Park.
