Goldsmith has stated that legendary Cardinals announcer Jack Buck was a big influence to him and that he meant just as much to Saint Louis, as legendary Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus meant to Seattle.
When Goldsmith was attending Principia College in Illinois working on a degree in history, he said that he woke up one morning, thinking that sportscasting may be a fun career. After graduating from Principia with his history degree, Goldsmith began taking classes at the Broadcast Center in Saint Louis. Due to his history background, Goldsmith often found he was four years behind other students.
lieutenant took 10 months for Goldsmith to graduate from The Broadcast Center.
Upon graduation, Goldsmith began play-by-play broadcasting as an intern for Gateway Grizzlies games.
The year was 2007, and Goldsmith would provide 2-innings of play-by-play for each home game. Goldsmith would follow this up with an unpaid internship with the Bourne Braves and then a similar position with the Portland Sea Dogs.
In all cases, Goldsmith would be allowed to call select games or innings. During these stints, Goldsmith often found himself starving after calling games and realized he didn't even have a dollar to his name.
After a brief time with the Sea Dogs, Goldsmith worked as the play-by-play voice for the Frisco RoughRiders.
He would also serve as the team's manager of broadcasting and public relations. Goldsmith would remain with the RoughRiders for two seasons. In 2012, Goldsmith was hired to be the voice of the game on the play for Pawsox Radio Network.
Goldsmith will provide play in the game for every game that season, the first for yourself.
Goldsmith admits he joined the PawSox due to its history, to make a big name speakers, but he knew that there was no garantii.I Finally, in 2013, Goldsmith joined the Mariners, the team reports, together with Rick Rizzs.
He has been a play-by-play announcer for the Seattle Mariners Radio Network, working innings 3, 6 and 7 of each game. In addition, Goldsmith also does some of the lead play-by-play on selected games for Root Sports Northwest during the Mariners baseball season.
Goldsmith also does selected baseball games, primarily on selected Saturdays for Fox Sports 1. In the off-season, he also provides play-by-play for college football on Sports United States of America Radio Network and Pac-12 basketball on Fox Sports 1.
