Gary Bruzdzinski is a lifelong Orioles fan who has been given the chance to live out every sports fan’s dream.
Bruzdzinski is a finalist in the Orioles Voice competition — the organization’s search for their next Public Address Announcer.
Gary auditioned for the PA Announcer job with hundreds of other fans at Orioles FanFest on January 21 and now he finds himself among the remaining few for the role.
I spoke with him about the process, fulfilling the dream, his PA Announcing experience and heard a sample of what Baltimore fans could expect to hear at Camden Yards this season.
Does anyone know if they have responded to all the finalists?
says theres 10 finalists any idea who else is on the list
Bruiser, you gotta get this gig!!!
I tried out but I couldn’t think of anything positive to say except OPACY is a pretty good park for a minor league team to play in , they stopped my audition right after I said that,,,whatever happened to freedom of speech………….
Ol Bruz is a long time friend of the Intimidator and via first hand experience is one of the best Play-by-Play/Colorman/PA guys around! The guy is good…
I’ve been fortunate to have him do commentary on myself when MGW and I were the “Chain Guys / Halftime entertainment” for the Baltimore Blackbirds/Mariners indoor football team at the Baltimore Arena.
Good luck Feb 11 Bruisers!!!!
I listened to the interview and I wish Ol Bruz much success. As an aside, is it too late to get a write in candidate in on the auditions- Z Man has some fantastic pipes. Good stuff. Intimidator- shutty it up on that chain gang crap- that’s so far in the rear view- it’s like three day old fish- it stinks. Love you guys.
Just learned yesterday the Bay Area Shuckers of the Atlantic Coast Professional Basketball League have another Finalist for the New Voice of OPACY…The Shuckers Play-by-Play Announcer gives the Expansion Shuckers two of the final twenty-six!!!
Was told by a very inside source it is going to be John Klug from 100.7 the bay.
Aaron, thanks for breaking it to me so gently…
Never having heard of JK (no disrespect intended…after all, who’s ever heard of Ol’ Bruz), I hadda investigate…Found a clip of “The Voice” here: http://www.thebayonline.com/pages/pages.php?page=100…
