He's not Ben or Dan Shulman, not even Joe Siddall. And maybe you don't even know his his name. But you've definitely heard Tim Langton.

He's only the third P.A. announcer at Rogers Centre and works every single Jays' game, introducing the players as they walk up to the plate, and controlling what's said over the speakers at the stadium.

He began in radio fresh out of high school at CJKL Kirkland Lake before winding up in an announce booth of a very different kind. You might think it's a great job to watch every game, but he doesn't actually get to see a lot of it because there's too much going on. 

And then there's his other duty, which you've surely heard. 

"On top of introducing each batter, setting up the national anthems and making "commercial announcements," one of his favourite jobs is pressing the button to sound a horn when the Jays hit a home run— like the one George Springer hit in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series.

"It's exciting, I mean there's still work to do. I mean, even after George's home run the other night, I don't get to watch the celebrations and what's going on on the field, because we gotta get back to work and introduce the next guy and keep the flow going," Langton said.

I had a great chat with Tim Langton about his radio career and how he got the Murray Eldon gig.
