97.5 The Fanatic To Carry NLDS Game 2 Radio Broadcast
97.5 The Fanatic will broadcast Game 2 of the National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets on Sunday, October 6 in the MLB Playoffs.
Jon “Boog” Sciambi and Doug Glanville handled the call for ESPN Radio when the Atlanta Braves visited Citizens Bank Park on September 1. They’ll return to the radio airwaves on 97.5 The Fanatic with the Phillies desperate for their first victory of the 2024 MLB Playoffs.
Pregame coverage starts at 12pm on 97.5 The Fanatic when veteran baseball journalist Kevin Cooney breaks down the pivotal Game 2.
97.5 The Fanatic Broadcasting Phillies-Mets
Long-time baseball play-by-play announcer Boog Sciambi has settled into a great role as ESPN’s radio voice for the Sunday national game, the highlight of an MLB week.
He’s an old friend of John Kincade (but who isn’t?) who flaunted his Chicago Cubs allegiance during a guest appearance on Kincade & Salciunas before the Phillies traveled to Wrigley Field in July.
Doug Glanville played parts of six seasons in two stints with the Phillies. His career season came in 1999 during the glory days of the franchise when former teammate Ricky Bottalico held down the bullpen at Veterans Stadium.
The former center fielder and University of Penn product also visited Citizens Bank Park for Phillies Alumni Weekend. Glanville unveiled the newly-named “Monty’s Angle” in the left-center field alley to honor the late David Montgomery.
ESPN Baseball Analysts on 97.5 The Fanatic
The Fanatic has also featured ESPN’s top baseball analysts as guests in recent seasons. Baseball Tonight host Buster Olney praised the crowd at Citizens Bank Park earlier this season after predicting the Phillies as his World Series winner in 2024.
“It’s the best home field advantage in baseball. The relationship between the players and the crowd seems absolutely tangible to the point that I think on those days when players are flat… I think the crowd helps to lift them and to keep them accountable and to push them through those moments.” –Buster Olney
