Charles Martin Slowes (born March 16, 1962)
Broadcasting experience
A native of
Slowes was also the radio voice of the
Slowes called the Nationals' run to the 2019 World Series, at which the Nationals gave Washington its first World Series title since the Washington Senators won it in 1924.
Trademarks
Slowes's broadcasting style typically features home run calls of "Going, going, gone, goodbye!" and "Bang, zoom goes [players name]!"
After every game the Nationals win, Slowes announces "A Curly W [referring to the Nationals' logo] is in the books"[3]
After a poor baserunning decision gets a runner out, Slowes often questions, "What was he thinking, what was he watching, where was he going?"
