The Los Angeles Angels and longtime broadcaster Patrick O'Neal are parting ways after 13 seasons, the team confirmed Wednesday. O'Neal, 58, had been a familiar voice for Angels fans, rotating play-by-play duties with primary announcer Wayne Randazzo and handling pre- and postgame hosting responsibilities. He also lends his talents to Los Angeles Kings hockey broadcasts.
"The Angels organization would like to thank Patrick O'Neal for his 13 years of dedication to the Angels broadcast team," the club said in a statement. "He brought a sense of pride to each telecast, something that was felt by Angels fans watching at home."
O'Neal shared his gratitude in a heartfelt post on social media: "Thank you to the Angels for the amazing broadcast opportunities. I cherish every moment and every friend I made. It's the great people I will miss the most. Chopping it up talking baseball with some of the best to ever do it. It will be hard to replace that. Go Halos!"
The timing of the announcement comes as the Angels struggle through a tough stretch, entering Wednesday with a 16-27 record—tied for the worst in baseball—and on pace for their 11th consecutive losing season. In March, the club also underwent front-office changes, with longtime executive Molly Jolly succeeding John Carpino as team president.
O'Neal, a two-time Los Angeles Area Emmy Award winner with six nominations, has deep roots in the entertainment world. He is the son of the late actor Ryan O'Neal, an Academy Award nominee who passed away in 2023, and the half-brother of actress Tatum O'Neal.
As the Angels look ahead to rebuilding both on and off the field, fans will surely miss O'Neal's steady presence in the broadcast booth—a voice that helped define the game-day experience for over a decade.
