Jeremiah Paprocki Becomes First Black PA Announcer In Chicago Cubs History

Jeremiah Paprocki made his Wrigley Field debut Monday night. The 21-year-old is the Cubs first Black PA announcer, and one of the youngest in Major League Baseball.

Paprocki is a student at the University of Illinois – Chicago and graduated from CICS Northtown Academy on the city’s North Side.

“It’s been a dream of mine sitting in these stands and actually mimicking the PA guy and pretending that I was in that seat,” he said.
