The Chicago Cubs have a new public address announcer for Wrigley Field.
The team announced Friday that nearly 3,000 people applied for the position and Andrew Belleson of Arlington Heights has won the job. Belleson was public address announcer and radio broadcaster for the Rockford RiverHawks for five years.
The Cubs hosted two live auditions at Wrigley Field and officials said it was a difficult decision.
Belleson is a lifelong Cubs fan and he played baseball at Concordia University in River Forest.
