The Cubs pipeline has some very knowledgeable and entertaining voices bringing us the action. Today’s begins a series on announcers in the Cubs pipeline. I’m starting with long-time Cubs fan Brendan King, the second-in-command in South Bend.
Much of appreciating an announcer, in any sport is familiarity. Once you become familiar with an announcer, you’ll probably enjoy them if they’re giving your side a fair shake. Minor league announcers are very important for people learning about prospects, as they paint the picture for the scene if we aren’t watching. I’m more captive to an announcer than some, as I’m not as likely as some to lean toward a film-study of a player.
