Rob Menschel Dies: Veteran Sports Camera Operator Was 59


After 35 years as a director, camera operator and lighting director in sports broadcasts, Rob Menschel died at age 59.

The news was shared by his colleagues at FanDuel, who recently interrupted a broadcast to pay tribute to Menschel after his passing, recognizing the work he’s done in Southern California and across the country since 1989. For the majority of Menschel’s career, he was part of the crew for Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, up until his retirement in 2016. “If it’s out of left field, I probably had something to do with it,” Menschel told the Los Angeles Times in 2016 upon Scully’s exit.
