Beloved Dodgers radio announcer, Charley Steiner, received joyous news on Monday after the Dodgers secured a spot in the World Series – his cancer is in remission. Steiner battled multiple myeloma blood cancer for nearly a year, keeping his struggle private. He underwent treatment at City of Hope and suffered debilitating back pain, weight loss, and a significant decline in physical health. Despite this setback, Steiner remained hopeful and determined. His absence from the broadcast booth this season was deeply felt, especially as the Dodgers faced the New York Yankees in the World Series, a team Steiner previously announced for. The Dodgers have supported him throughout his illness and are eager for his return next year. Steiner, known for his smooth commentary and poetic style, has been a cherished voice for Dodgers fans for over 20 years. Although he will attend the World Series as a visitor and not a broadcaster, Steiner remains optimistic about his recovery and plans to be back in full force next year. As he navigates this difficult journey, Steiner finds solace in the words of his childhood team, the Brooklyn Dodgers – “Wait till next year.”
