You Make The Call: Did Cubs Choose Right PA Announcer?
In order to find its next public address announcer this season, the Chicago Cubs forged an innovative partnership with CareerBuilder.
Fans would post their resumes on the site and put their announcing audition, voicing a required script, on YouTube. The Cubs received 2,954 applications.
