Len Kasper says leaving Cubs for White Sox is about longtime desire to call baseball on radio

Saying radio is “embedded in his soul,” Len Kasper explained why he’s leaving the Cubs’ TV booth for the White Sox’ radio booth in an interview Friday on his new home, ESPN 1000.

Kasper appeared on the “Kap & J.Hood” morning show said that he wanted to be Ernie Harwell, the Tigers’ Hall of Fame broadcaster, growing up and that he had been thinking about moving to radio for a long time.

The Sox’ job initially opened after longtime voice Ed Farmer died April 1. Andy Masur called the action this past season with analyst Darrin Jackson on a one-year agreement.
