The voice of the Rocket City Trash Pandas, Josh Caray, to speak at MCC luncheon

MADISON – The voice of the Rocket City Trash Pandas Josh Caray will be the featured speaker at the Madison Chamber of Commerce quarterly luncheon on Thursday.

Caray is the director of broadcasting and baseball information for the new Minor League baseball team in Madison.

The luncheon will be held at the Best Western Plus, 9035 Madison Blvd., 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 20. Registration is required. Cost to attend is $25 for members and $30 for non-members. Call 256-325-8317 to register.

Caray will be calling the play-by-play action live on the radio. Besides being the grandson of the great Harry Caray, he is the son of the late Skip Caray, the long-time lead radio voice of the Atlanta Braves.

“Baseball play-by-play is obviously in my blood,” Carey has said about coming to the Trash Pandas. “But calling for a new franchise of this caliber is every announcer’s dream. Everywhere I go in Minor League Baseball, people are talking about the Trash Pandas and the excitement that our new team is generating throughout the country. To all the fans in Madison, Huntsville and beyond – you can be sure you’ll get my very best, every inning of every game.”

The Rocket City Trash Pandas is owned by BallCorps, LLC and will begin play April 15 in the new Toyota Stadium being completede in the heart of the Town Madison development.
