TV/Radio |
Notes |
|
| Keith Moreland |
2011 |
Radio |
"Zonk" as he was known during his playing days with the Cubs, Moreland filled in at times for the Cubs broadcasts in 2010 and was selected to partner with Pat Hughes for the 2011 season following the death of longtime beloved Cub; Ron Santo. |
| Bob Brenly |
2005 - Present |
TV |
Won World Series as manager w/ Arizona Diamonbacks in 2001. Had a non-descript first year back announcing with the Cubs, didn't add much, held back. Then after his first year, he really come into his own, saying what has to be said about over-rated players and managers who fell asleep in their judgement. |
| Len Kasper |
2005 - Present |
TV |
Just a terrific announcer and all around good guy. Lets the moment speak for itself at times, and provides a smooth description of the events as they unfold. Not overbearing, loves music and shares his knowledge of it. A good pairing with Bob Brenly. |
| Joe Carter |
2001 - 2002 |
TV |
World Series hero for Toronto, ex-Cub who was traded for Rick Sutcliffe. Not so much of a hero when announcing. He had trouble articulating his thoughts at times. Always upbeat and happy :) though. |
| Dave Otto |
2001 - 2002 |
TV/Radio |
Dave has good insight and a good nature. |
| Andy Masur |
1999 - Present |
Radio |
SD Padress announcer |
| Chip Caray |
1998 - 2004 |
TV |
Son of Harry, Grandson of Skip. Has a tendency to exaggerate the simple plays. Loves the game though. Also broadcasts for the Atlanta Braves and TBS Baseball. |
| Josh Lewin |
1997 |
TV |
From what I remember, Harry gave him a hard time when he was here. Went on to do National broadcasts on Fox, and then did some time with the O's, Tigers, and Rangers too (yeah, its like doing time when with any of those teams). |
| Pat Hughes |
1996 - Present |
Radio |
Likes tuna sandwiches. Great Pairing with Ron Santo. One can feel their appreciation of each other. Is supposed to have a good jump shot. Likes to tell the listener the whole description of the team's uniforms for that day right down what type of stitching was used. |
| Thom Brennaman |
1990 - 1995 |
TV |
Spelled Thom, pronounced like Tom. His dad must be a fan of Jhonny Peralta. |
| Bob Brenly |
1990 - 1991 |

|
| Ron Santo |
1990 - 2010 |
Radio |

Ron was a never give up type of guy, whether that had to do with his struggle with diabetes, his efforts in raising money for JDRF, or his belief in the Cubs, he passed away in 2010. He will be missed. He should be in the Baseball Hall of fame for his contribution as a player, announcer, and ambassador. |
| Dave Nelson |
1988 - 1989 |

Did some coaching, broadcasts for the Milwaukee Brewers now. |

White Sox Broadcaster also |
| Harry Caray* |
1982 - 1997 |
TV |
Harry Christopher Carabina was his birth name. Also broadcast for the St. Louis Cardinals, the A's (one year), the White Sox Broadcaster for 11 years with Jimmy Piersall, and then ended his career with the Cubbies. Turned himself into an icon in Chicagoland and around the world with his over sized black glasses and his sense of humor. Sang "Take Me out to the Ballgame" and turned that into a media moment for the Cubs. Still missed :( |

White Sox Broadcaster also. "Hey Hey" was his HR call. "Hey Hey" is on one of the foul poles at Wrigley Field. He did it all as far as broadcasting and sports. Name the sport, he probably did it. |
