Jay's abilities to laugh, learn and adapt make him a great broadcaster and friend. It was a privilege to work alongside him for over three years in the booth and in the front office"

Josh Maurer

Jay is one of the most innovative and unique play-by-play men in baseball.  I learned more from Jay than any partner I have had the opportunity to work with.  He is a terrific broadcaster and a better person and I would highly recommend him for any job.
