Matt Spiegel: Cubs Play By Play Man...Next Weekend
Posted by ABRockNJock on July 13, 2023, 3:11 pm
Matt Spiegel wears many hats at 670 AM The SCORE. Afternoon co-host with Danny Parkins, host of the baseball talk show "Hit & Run" on Sunday mornings, Feldco singing jingle dude & bandleader of Tributosaurus.
Next weekend, while Pat Hughes, Ron Coomer & Zach Zaidman are at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY for Hughes being honored with the Ford C. Frick Award, it's been revealed that Spiegel will pinch hit on radio play-by-play duty for the Cubs/Cardinals' series at Wrigley Field Friday, July 21-Sunday, July 23 on the Audacy-owned Cubs Radio Network flagship.
Needless to say, some BIG shoes to fill while Hughes is being honored with quite the award for baseball broadcasting. Seems hard to believe, but Hughes has been the Cubs Radio voice since 1996.

I forgot to mention in my original post that Matt Spiegel's partner next weekend when the Cubs & Cardinals is another versatile personality who wears many hats, too.
Elise Menaker, who worked the dugout last weekend for the Cubs/Yankees' series on Marquee Sports Network in the Bronx, will serve as analyst on 670 AM The SCORE's Cubs/Cardinals' series with Spiegel.
Menaker wears many hats herself as dugout reporter for selected Cubs' games, as well as part-time studio host on Marquee's "Cubs Pregame/Postgame Live" and analyst on the RSN's Iowa Cubs' broadcasts with Alex Cohen. Menaker also has football sideline duties during the fall on Big Ten Network and also hosts "Baseball Night in New York" on SportsNet New York (SNY) as well.
