I had the chance to talk with new Cubs TV play-by-play voice Jon ‘Boog’ Sciambi this week. We talked about topics ranging from his nickname to how he views working advance statistics into broadcasts to the viral video he recorded of a baseball game in New York’s Central Park last month.
He’s going to be great, he was a fantastic hire by Marquee Sports Network. Here’s a lightly edited transcript of our conversation.
AY: You were nicknamed “Boog” years ago. Do you prefer that, as opposed to your given name?
JS: I don’t care.
