Former MU, Pittsburg announcer lands Cardinal play-by-play job
The St. Louis Cardinals fired play-by-play announcer Wayne Hagin after three seasons Friday and named Chicago White Sox announcer John Rooney as his replacement.
I remember Rooney's work as announcer for the MU football and basketball teams, and also his brief stints working with Jack Buck and Mike Shannon on Cardinal games a couple of decades ago. Rooney has some of his early radio experiences in Pittsburg, Kan., according to the Associated Press story.
