Rory Markas, the popular broadcaster for the L.A. Angels professional baseball team and the USC Trojan basketball team, has died, according to a number of media reports.
Says the Orange County Register newspaper, "Markas, 54, died Monday night at his home in Palmdale [Calif]. The cause of death was unknown, although Markas did have serious health problems in November 2008 when a blood clot on his brain required surgery and left him hospitalized for some time."
During his career Markas had also been a broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Clippers as well as being a sports anchor at KTTV, the Fox outlet in Los Angeles.
