Dave Ryan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Ryan is a play-by-play announcer and reporter for ESPN. He is mostly known for calling PBA bowling events on the network alongside color analyst Randy Pedersen. He also calls other non-marquee sporting events and occasionally serves as a college football sideline reporter and a college basketball announcer. His signature phrases on bowling telecasts are "60 feet to success!" and "He's got all ten down."

Dave Ryan's name is on a fairly short list of bowling play-by-play announcers, with Chris Schenkel being the most well-known after he spent 36 years calling PBA events for ABC. Denny Schreiner (ESPN), Jay Randolph (NBC/ESPN2), Mike Durbin (ESPN), and Dick Stockton (HBO) have also served as play-by-play announcers for bowling telecasts.
