Chuck Barrett 'excited' to make 1 game return to Arkansas baseball radio

FAYETTEVILLE — Chuck Barrett is making a return to the Arkansas baseball radio booth Sunday.

Barrett, who was the first play-by-play voice in the history of Razorbacks baseball and held the title for 23 seasons, will fill in for Phil Elson, who will be calling an Arkansas women's basketball game at Kentucky the same day.

Sunday's baseball game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Barrett will host the Razorback Sports Network pregame show beginning at 12:30 p.m. on affiliates throughout the state.

"I'm excited about doing it," Barrett said. "(RSN general manager) David Shoemaker called me Monday and told me there were some conflicts and asked me if I'd do it, and I said yes.
