It's time for some changes when it comes to the Detroit Tigers, and the first step was getting one of the best play by play announcers in the game! Welcome to the D Jason, we are just as excited as you are!

The Tigers made their first big move of the offseason by stealing the Chicago White Sox play by play callers Jason Benetti. This is a big move for the Tigers as his is the first announcer since Ernie Harwell to be hired directly by the team. He is also one of the best announcers in the game and now he is a Detroit Tiger!

Jason was the play by play guy for the White Sox and multiple national games. But now, I am happy to say he will be in Detroit for many years to come.

Here is an interview clip from Jason yesterday after the announcement was made public. You can tell Jason is already going to fit in well in this city.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS:

As a big baseball and Tigers fan I can tell you this is a great sign going into the off-season. Signing a guy like Jason proves to me that the Tigers are going in with this team. It starts with a great announcer making the games entertaining. The product on the field will follow. The Tigers stepped up and got their guy. That also proves to me that they may do the same when it comes to players. I dig this hire and I think everyone in Detroit will soon do the same!

Here is some more on the career and life of Jason. Really see how good of a guy we just got!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
