Pirates hire Joe Block as play-by-play man

The Pirates have added Joe Block, who previously served as the Milwaukee Brewers’ radio play-by-play man, to their broadcast team, the club announced today.

Block replaces Tim Neverett, who took a similar job with the Boston Red Sox.

While in Milwaukee, Block worked with broadcaster Bob Uecker. He also has hosted a postgame show for the Los Angeles Dodgers, called minor league games for nine seasons, and called college football and basketball games.
