Jeremiah Paprocki made his debut as the Cubs' public address announcer at Wrigley Field on Monday night.
Paprocki, 21, is the first Black PA announcer in team history.
“Who’s ever heard of a 21-year-old PA announcer?” Paprocki told the Chicago Sun-Times' Russell Dorsey. “That truly means the world that the Chicago Cubs, my hometown team, the team that I love, is taking a chance on me.
“To be able to sit in that chair behind the microphone at Wrigley Field of all places, it’s truly an honor. I’m looking forward to that opportunity.
