Dan Dickerson

During the Tigers' 2016 season, Dickerson moved to the television booth to call several road series for Fox Sports Detroit while regular TV announcer Mario Impemba joined Jim Price in the radio booth, an experiment that was discarded the following season.

On June 30, 2014, the Tigers were down 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, losing to the Oakland Athletics, batting against Sean Doolittle, who had a 0.590 WHIP at the time. After allowing back-to-back singles to Austin Jackson and Alex Avila, Doolittle would get one out before walking Austin Jackson to load the bases. Rajai Davis would then hit a walk-off grand slam to win the game 5-4. Dickerson's call:

On April 8, 2012, down 12-11 in the bottom of the eleventh against the Boston Red Sox, Alex Avila hit a walk-off two-run home run that barely went over the right field fence to win the game 13-12 for the Tigers. Here's Dickerson's call:

On May 4, 2012, down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth against the Chicago White Sox, Jhonny Peralta hit a walk-off two-run home run to win the game 5-4 for the Tigers. Here's the call from Dickerson:

On August 5, 2012, the Tigers were down 8-5 in the bottom of the tenth with two outs against the Cleveland Indians, but an Austin Jackson double and an Omar Infante bloop single tied the game at 8. Miguel Cabrera came to the plate, and had a 3-1 count when he hit a walk-off two-run home run to win the game 10-8. Here's how Dickerson called the walk-off home run:

On September 3, 2011, the Tigers completed a rally from an 8-1 deficit against the Chicago White Sox, the second largest in Comerica Park history with home runs in the bottom of the 9th inning, a two-run home run from Ryan Raburn to tie the game and another one of walk-off variety from Miguel Cabrera to win the game 9-8. Dickerson animatedly described Cabrera's home run this way:

Dickerson tripped on a curb while jogging outside the Detroit Tigers team hotel in Kansas City, Missouri on May 26, 2009. His fall ruptured a tendon in his leg and he was rescued by Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge, who saw Dickerson lying on the ground from outside his hotel room window. It was later announced that Dickerson would miss multiple games and return to Michigan for surgery. Tigers manager Jim Leyland stated that he "felt terrible" about Dickerson's situation, and that he wished him well. John Keating filled in for the remainder of the Kansas City series, and Al Kaline did the Baltimore series. Dickerson returned for the Boston series in Detroit the following week.

On June 12, 2007, Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander threw the sixth no-hitter in franchise history against the Milwaukee Brewers, and Dickerson called the final out this way:

On August 5, 2006, Dickerson called Iván Rodríguez's walk-off home run against the Cleveland Indians with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Many Detroit sports commentators declared it as Dickerson's best call as a Tigers broadcaster. It was replayed numerous times on Tigers commercials on WXYT.

On October 14, 2006, Magglio Ordóñez hit a walk-off home run in Game 4 of the ALCS, making the Tigers the American League champions for the first time since 1984. Here's the way Dan Dickerson described the final moments of the game to the radio audience:

Dickerson took over as lead play-by-play announcer on Tigers radio following Harwell's retirement at the end of the 2002 season, working with Price as a two-man crew.

Dickerson has called several events for Fox Sports Detroit television, including high school football since 2002, a Michigan State Spartans hockey game in 2008, and Detroit Titans basketball games in 2010 and 2011.

While visiting with legendary Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell in the WJR booth during the final game at Tiger Stadium in 1999, Dickerson was invited by Harwell to call an inning of play-by-play. The following season, he joined the Tigers' radio broadcast team full-time, calling the middle innings of each game while Harwell handled the rest. Along with former Tigers catcher and color analyst Jim Price, this crew remained intact for three full seasons, even as the team switched radio flagship stations (from WJR to WXYT) at the end of the 2000 season.

In 1995, Dickerson moved to crosstown competitor WJR, where he held a variety of positions. He was co-host of the weeknight sports call-in show Sportswrap; morning sports anchor; sideline reporter and fill-in play-by-play announcer for Michigan Wolverines football; and play-by-play announcer for Michigan basketball for two seasons.

He holds some renown as a charter member of one of the country's oldest rotisserie baseball leagues: The Duckball League of Michigan. Dickerson joined Duckball when the league was formed in 1985 and (finally) won a championship in 2004.

He began his radio career at WMAX in Grand Rapids, Michigan as a news anchor and reporter. He also covered high-school football and basketball. He moved to competitor WCUZ in 1982, where he would cover sports for the next six years. Dickerson moved to Detroit in 1988 and WWJ, where he served as a general assignment news reporter and weekend news and sports anchor. He also hosted the post-game call-in show for the station's Detroit Lions broadcasts.

Dickerson grew up in Birmingham, Michigan and attended Cranbrook School, graduating in 1976. He then attended Ohio Wesleyan University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Daniel Hill Dickerson (born November 13, 1958) is an American sportscaster, best known for his current position as the lead radio play-by-play voice of Major League Baseball's Detroit Tigers on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network.
