• LA Times (1/6/2010) Rory Markas dies at 54; Angels announcer called World Series win.
Rory Markas, the popular and personable broadcaster known best for his memorable call of the final out of the Angels' 2002 World Series victory over the San Francisco Giants, died Monday night at his home in Palmdale. As of Tuesday afternoon, the cause of death had not been determined. He was 54.
Markas, who spent eight years with the Angels and was recently promoted to the team's lead television play-by-play job, also served as the play-by-play voice for the USC men's basketball team and as a news reporter for KTTV Channel 11 in Los Angeles, covering fires and other natural disasters.
Markas, who survived a near-fatal blood clot in his brain in November 2008, was also the lead radio announcer for the NBA's Clippers from 1994 to '97, and previously served as a sports reporter for KCBS-TV Channel 2 and KNX-AM (1070) in Los Angeles. He called Saturday's USC basketball game against Arizona State.
News of Markas' death sent another shock wave through an Angels organization that in 2009 suffered the tragic losses of 22-year-old pitcher Nick Adenhart, who was killed in an April car crash, and 86-year-old scout Preston Gomez, who died last January after being struck by a truck in March 2008.

They're practical, personal, and pretty humorous too – and, they are the real deal. Happily married for 30 years, with three kids, and like the rest of us, they have to juggle family, friendships, and fun with making a living. They've got books, cd's, and videos, along with a bunch of free relationship resources, at their website billandpam.org (800-810-4449). Today we talk about teenagers, bouncing off Guys Are Waffles, Girls Are Spaghetti and their latest Raising a Modern-Day Princess: Inspiring Purpose, Value, And Strength In Your Daughter.
512-523 – Bill and Pam Farrel. Two huge points they made: 1) Train your teenager to make their own choices by asking them the question "Tell me why I should say yes" when they want to go to the mall, spend the night at a friend's house, or buy that new phone. Rather than you being the "yes or no" parent, you'll be raising a young adult who will think about consequences. And 2) When they blow it, rather than "You're grounded for a month," ask them "Tell me what you think a healthy parent would do as discipline for this decision so that it won't happen again?"
528-538 – Bill and Pam Farrel. When your teen is not honest with you, your policy must be "double the discipline for dishonesty."
