You remember him using Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam lyrics as Milwaukee Brewers home run calls. Now, that former TV voice of the Brewers joins a weekly national TV broadcast of Major League Baseball.
Matt Vasgersian, now a longtime national TV veteran on MLB broadcasts, the Olympics, the NFL and more, is joining one of the flagship broadcasts of the sport, ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball.
From a man in Vasgersian's Brewers TV lineage, Brian Anderson…
For all you @MiLB announcers out there, if these two Texas League hacks can, you certainly can. Keep grinding. Congrats, MattyVas on the @espn SNB gig. pic.twitter.com/olx0v57URe

It's not like Vasgersian has forgotten his Brewers home run-calling roots…just last September…

For five years, Vasgersian was the Brewers' TV voice while contributing to WTMJ's Brewers coverage. He then shifted to the San Diego Padres while adding baseball assignments with Fox Sports and MLB Network and Olympic assignments on NBC.
