This is a nice story about a baseball broadcaster who has some New
England roots. Andy Freed who does play by play for the Tampa Rays was
the Pawtucket announcer for a few years ending in 2004 when he took
the Tampa job. He also did the Red Sox AA games in Trenton moving to
Pawtucket when the Red Sox moved to Maine

He gave up the chance to call the ending of a perfect game because his
partner used to work White Sox radio.  Freed is rumored to be the
front runner to replace Joe Castigleone who is said to be close to
retirement.

Scott this might be a nice story to pass along in the newsletter given
Andy's roots
