Marquee Sports Network, the Cubs’ TV home, announced the hiring of Jon “Boog” Sciambi as its play-by-play announcer. Sciambi, who will join analyst Jim Deshaies, has been with ESPN full-time since 2010. He has been the radio voice for “Sunday Night Baseball” and the TV voice for “Wednesday Night Baseball” since 2014. He will continue to work as a multiplatform broadcaster for ESPN.
“Having the opportunity to come to Wrigley Field and call games for the Chicago Cubs every day is surreal,” said Sciambi, who was the Braves’ TV announcer from 2007-2009 and the Marlins’ radio voice from 1997-2004.
