Kevin Kraus's reaction became viral.
When he was told that he will be the next Atlanta Braves PA announcer through a Zoom meeting with pitcher Spencer Strider and radio announcer Ben Ingram, Kraus's emotions couldn't be contained.
"When he came on," Kraus recalled over the weekend, "I about lost it."
Kraus, a Bethlehem resident and UGA grad, was one of three finalists to replace longtime PA announcer Casey Motter, who passed away last summer.
Kraus and Sam Franco, who does PA for UGA events, split time as the PA announcer in his absence.
