Scott Franzke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Franzke is a baseball announcer and a native of Dallas, Texas born on March 6, 1972 who currently works for the Philadelphia Phillies, and is a graduate of Southern Methodist University (1994) with a journalism degree.
His career began as a studio host for the now-defunct Prime Sports Radio Network (now Fox Sports Radio) in 1994 which led him three years later to be the host of the Texas Rangers radio pre- and post-game shows 1997-98. He honed his play-by-play skills as the voice of the Kane County Cougars from 1999 to 2001, and covered the 2000 Summer Olympics for Sporting News Radio. He returned to the Rangers to reassume the pre and post game broadcasting duties and also filled in on play-by-play from 2002 to 2005.
In 2006, he came to the Phillies to take over those same duties when Tom McCarthy was hired away from the Phillies by the New York Mets, their National League Eastern Division rivals. Franzke worked the fifth and sixth innings in 2006 with Larry Andersen. In 2007, Franzke will assume more play by play duties, replacing Scott Graham.
