Phoenix — The Milwaukee Brewers announced Friday that University of Nebraska broadcaster Lane Grindle will join their radio booth as the third voice of the club behind Bob Uecker and Jeff Levering on WTMJ-AM (620) radio broadcasts and the Brewers Radio Network.
Grindle, 34, fills the void left when Joe Block departed as Uecker's sidekick to go to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Levering was elevated from the No. 3 spot to that position. Grindle will join Levering for road broadcasts on trips that Uecker does not make.
"We had a deep pool of candidates for this position, but Lane was very impressive throughout the process on many levels," Brewers chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger said.
