When I wrote in December that I wanted Jon “Boog” Sciambi to succeed Len Kasper in the Cubs’ TV booth, I didn’t know the Cubs were pursuing him and would hire him two weeks later. I just knew what I had heard listening to him for so long on ESPN: He was perfect for the job.
(I know. Lousy reporting, Agrest.)
Halfway through his first season on Marquee Sports Network, Sciambi has been everything I had hoped. He has brought a similar sound and demeanor to his good friend Kasper, who’s now on White Sox radio. He has connected easily with analyst Jim Deshaies, making for good conversation and a lots of laughs.
