Rockies Broadcasters


Drew Goodman - Play-by-Play Announcer - ROOT SPORTS
Drew Goodman

Drew Goodman, one of the most versatile broadcasters in sports, is in his tenth season calling Colorado Rockies games. He is one of two original employees of the network, joining the Denver-based regional sports network in 1988.

For 10 years (1994-2004), Goodman was the play-by-play announcer for Denver Nuggets telecasts for the network and local over-the-air stations. From 2002 through 2004, he was one of few sportscasters to regularly call action for telecasts of two professional teams in the same year, annually logging more than 190 games between the Colorado Rockies and Denver Nuggets.

Over the past year, Goodman called games in major league baseball, Big 12 football, University of Colorado men's basketball, various network live events, and ancillary programming.

In January 2011, he earned his eighth Colorado Sportscaster of the Year honor by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.

Prior to becoming the Rockies play-by-play voice in 2002, Goodman worked select major-league baseball national telecasts for FSN and hosted Rockies Weekly with Buddy Bell and Colorado Rockies Pregame Report.

Goodman's work in football has been extensive, including stints working the NFL with NBC in 1993 and occasional games on FOX Sports since 2000. In addition to the NFL and Big 12 Conference football, he's worked ACC, Mountain West Conference (CSU) and WAC football games. For two seasons (2000-2002) he called play-by-play for Denver Broncos preseason games on the Broncos radio network, and for five seasons in the mid-'90s, he hosted the postgame reports following Denver Broncos games on KOA.

Goodman added the NHL to his resume in 1996, when he started hosting the Avalanche Pregame Report, an assignment he held for six years until picking up the Rockies play-by-play assignment.

Not limiting his talents to the four major team sports, Goodman called tennis action for Prime Sports' initial year of ATP tour coverage in 1990, and for three year he called the Annual MS Tennis Classic in Denver. In the fall of 1993, he called the play-by-play for the first-ever ATP tennis event - the Beijing Open - in Mainland China for worldwide distribution on Prime International. For eight years, Goodman covered men's and women's World Cup and pro ski racing, as well as college baseball for ESPN and has also been involved with the coverage of track and field, gymnastics, wrestling and golf.

Goodman has taken his skills and applied them to studio shows, hosting numerous programs, including the Denver Nuggets Coaches Show, The Big 12 Gridiron Report, the Big Ten Reports, WAC Magazine and Golf Colorado.

A native of New York, Goodman received his bachelor's degree in communications from Ithaca College in 1985. He and his wife, Kristi, are actively involved in Colorado Youth at Risk, an organization that helps re-direct the lives of troubled teens. Their most important endeavor is raising the Rockies future outfield -- Jacob, Zachary and Gabriel.

He made trips to the World Series with both the Yankees ('81) and the Twins ('87), earning a world championship ring in his final year as a player.

Frazier was born in Oklahoma City and earned all-state honors in baseball at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Mo., going 7-0 with a 0.14 ERA during his senior season. He then played collegiate baseball at the University of Oklahoma, leading the Sooners to four consecutive trips to the College World Series.

In the summer of 2005, Jack published his first novel, Warning Track, a book about an aging baseball player dealing with the lure and repercussions of supplement use. His second novel, 24 December, 1944, based on an incident during World War II, is scheduled to be released this year, and he is already at work on a third novel dealing with the early days of the FBI.

A native Clevelander, Jack is a graduate of St. Ignatius High School and Cornell University, where he played football for four seasons. He also has a Master's Degree in Speech from Kent State University. During the off-seasons, Jack coached football at St. Ignatius, the 10-time Ohio state champions and three-time national champs.

Jack and his wife, Lisa, have been married since 7/15/77, and they have two children. Megan, a graduate of Mercyhurst College, lives in Casper, WY with her husband, John, and their son, James, the newest Rockies fan who was born 5/28/10.
