The Cubs are still searching for a replacement for long-time voice Len Kasper.

For 16 beautiful seasons, Len Kasper spoiled Cubs fans with spectacular television play-by-play commentary. His decision to leave for a radio opportunity with the White Sox was not something anyone had been anticipating.

Hearing the news was bittersweet. Kasper is someone who cannot be despised by fans of the North Side baseball club. Year in and year out, he set the tone for how things should be handled in the booth.

The man entered the organization as a 34-year-old babyface and left as one of the greatest personalities in franchise history.
