Two Wonderful Days at Minute Maid Park Doing games in Arizona was great, but Friday was very special to me because it was the first time I got to broadcast a game in a Major League stadium. The Cubs faced off against the Astros at Minute Maid Park and I got to fly the charter […]
A Recap of Thursday’s Christina-Taylor Green Game Last Thursday, the Dodgers and Cubs hosted a charity game in Tucson for the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation (which we discussed in our last blog). It turned out to be a wonderful event, and when I got to Tucson, I realized people weren’t at the game just to […]
A Special Game in Tucson Today I’m making the two-hour trip to Tucson where the Cubs will take on the Dodgers at 4 p.m. EST, in what will be an emotional game for reasons outside of baseball. The proceeds from today’s game between the two clubs will go towards the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation, which […]
Len & Jim Begin Their Journey This past offseason the Cubs had a position to fill in the broadcast booth when Bob Brenley, color commentator with Len Kasper on the television broadcast, left to take the same position in Arizona.

Every year I make the trip to Mesa for Cubs spring training, I look forward to making the trip to Hohokam stadium. But I’m looking forward to next year as the Cubs will be making their way to the new Mesa Riverview stadium located only a couple of miles away from Hohokam. Rumors have swirled […]
Colin Kaepernick is one game away from leading the San Francisco 49ers to its first Super Bowl appearance since its fifth Super Bowl title in 1995. However, Kaepernick, once a high school pitching star, could have been gearing up for Major League Spring Training instead. The Cubs selected the 49ers’ quarterback in the 43rd round […]
