Jon Sciambi ESPN Radio World Series Announcer

     Former Miami sports talk radio host Jon "Boog" Sciambi will be the ESPN Radio play-by-play announcer for the 2023 World Series. He will take over the spot held by Dan Schulman.
     Sciambi was elevated to ESPN Radio Sunday night baseball play-by-play voice in 2010. He will become the third person since 1996 to announce the World Series on ESPN Radio joining Jon Miller from 1996 to 2009 and Dan Schulman from 2010 to 2022. 
     Sciambi, a Boston College grad, had sports talk shows on 560 WQAM-AM during the mid-1990s first hosting evening programs by himself and then co-hosting middays with original Florida Panthers radio voice Chris Moore. He later was a midday host on Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM in 2004 and 2005. 
     He has had a history of working game broadcasts. Sciambi was the Florida Panthers radio studio host in 1995-96 and 1996-97. He left South Florida for a couple of months during the summer of 1996 to announce baseball games in the Pacific Northwest League. 
     Sciambi became the Florida Marlins studio host in 1997 and later became a radio play-by-play announcer from 1999 to 2004. He would begin to work college basketball and Major League Baseball games at ESPN. Sciambi was the Atlanta Braves television play-by-play announcer from 2007 to 2009. 
     He was scheduled to work several games on the Boston Red Sox Radio Network in 2020, however the coronavirus pandemic and the shortened season changed those plans. Sciambi has worked as the Chicago Cubs television play-by-play announcer for Marquee Sports Network since 2021.
