Cardenas started broadcasting for the Dodgers in 1958 and for the next 21 years, he remained a constant presence behind the mic. He also called games for the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. The Astros added him to their Hall of Fame in 2024.
Cardenas was born in Managua, Nicaragua, in the La Bolsa neighborhood. He got into sports journalism at the age of 16. When the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to LA, he was the one who convinced them to start Spanish broadcasting so as to connect the game with a wider range of audiences.
The beloved Spanish broadcaster was a Hall of Fame candidate in 2011, 2012, 2024, and 2025. However, he was not inducted. The New York Times described his legacy as “a voice that should be in Cooperstown.”
