The 2022 Ballpark Digest Broadcaster of the Year is Adam Marco, Voice of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Kevin Reichard sit down with Marco to discuss his career and the current state of broadcasting in the minors.
Some highlights of Marco's career: manning the midnight-to-6-a.m. shift at Froggy 101 in Scranton, spinning country music under the Froggy-themed on-air DJ name Jumpin’ Jack Splash"; his eight seasons as the Voice of the West Virginia Power; creating the Nestor Cortes dual bobblehead and bobble-leg while heading promotions and calling games for the RailRiders; and chronicling his life on the road, “Minor League Kerouac.”
