  • If you weren’t a sports fan, you might have thought that Stu Nahan was a Hollywood actor, as he portrayed a boxing commentator in the first six Rocky films, himself in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, and was a sports announcer in many other films. The roles came naturally because that is what he did in real life.

    Nahan was raised in Canada, where he played Goalie at Montreal’s McGill University, and was good enough to play in the minors, but his true calling was behind the microphone. He called games for the Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia Eagles, and occasionally did NFL games nationally for CBS, but it was in Los Angeles that he found his home.

    Nahan was a sports anchor for approximately 30 years in the L.A. market, with stints for KABC, KNBC, and KTLA. He also did the Dodgers pre-game show for years, and his link to the City of Angels was his gateway to the Hollywood sign.

    We are proud to nominate Stu Nahan for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
