Did Jon Sciambi quit?

Jon Sciambi is an American sportscaster for ESPN and the Marquee Sports Network, currently the everyday play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs TV broadcasts. He has worked extensively as a baseball play-by-play announcer, calling games for ESPN television and on ESPN Radio.

Sciambi attended Boston College, and he began his sportscasting experience on WZBC, the school’s 1000-watt FM radio station broadcasting to the Greater Boston area.

His classmates and fellow broadcasters at WZBC included Joe Tessitore and Bob Wischusen, both of whom also went on to become successful sports announcers.

Sciambi was an announcer with the Florida Marlins from 1997 to 2004 and was also the play-by-play announcer for the Atlanta Braves on SportSouth and FSN South from 2007 to 2009.

Sciambi formerly worked in South Florida sports radio on 790 The Ticket but left the radio show on April 4, 2008, to focus on broadcasting for the Atlanta Braves.

Late in the 2009 season, it was announced that Sciambi would be leaving the Braves and joining ESPN’s Major League Baseball and college basketball coverage full-time.
