American Idol–Colorado Rockies Style
Somebody in the Colorado Rockies organization must be a big “American Idol” fan, because when the team needed a new public address announcer they decided to hold an “Idol” style competition to find one. Two hundred sixty-one applicants sent in demo tapes and 20 were called back for a live audition. Those 20 were whittled down to three, and the winner was chosen through online voting. Unfortunately for the three finalists, they had to find out who the winner was in the most agonizing way possible. All three finalists had to say “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Coors Field” live on the air, but only the winner’s voice would be heard. In the end the winner was Reed Saunders, a 25 year old Colorado State graduate who becomes the youngest P.A. announcer in Baseball. Now the Rockies just need to find some starting pitching.
