Everyone in Chicago is about to know the voice, but incredibly proud that I have gotten to know the drive, determination and incredible person that is @jtheannouncer. I’ll tell stories of his early PA days for the rest of my life.

[Russell Dorsey @Russ_Dorsey1]

The Cubs have hired Jeremiah Paprocki as their new PA announcer, making him the first African American PA announcer in team history. He’ll make his Wrigley Field debut tonight.

“I hope that it inspires other African American boys and girls out there.”

When I am a fan at sporting events, I usually don’t cheer very loudly...today, I have 20,000 people ready to cheer at my fingertips.

@aRAWperspective A few ladies requested to keep yours, I wasn’t going to deny them...first game next year, you are front row with your own cutout.

[Ryan Ptak @callmeRENO]

I’m always a fan of myself in cardboard form.

The OCB was a staple of my childhood. I was 12 years old for the better part of a decade due to their pricing model.

@kmaxhimer @YPSportsChat I’m sure that I was overly professional the entire meeting.
