Hoard to Sit In For Marty

Reds fans will recognize a familiar voice this weekend when former broadcaster Dan Hoard, who is now with the Pawtucket Red Sox (Red Sox affiliate), will sit in for the Hall of Famer.

While Marty is away at the National Sports Writers and Sports Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame dinner, Hoard will be on the big stick with Jeff Brantely calling the weekend series in Pittsburgh.

For Hoard this is his second “cup of coffee” in the major leagues.  He has called games for the Toronto Blue Jays, the NY Mets, and a few games for the Reds.

I won’t be able to listen because I too will be in Pittsburgh for my first trip to PNC Park with some fellow Reds fans.  Let me know how this goes.
