Pat Foley Will Be on the Mic for Tonight’s Cubs-Cardinals Game

In what might be considered the most aggressive crossover event in Chicago history, both Cubs and Blackhawks fans will likely enjoy the broadcast no matter the outcome when the Cardinals play at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night.

Pat Foley, the Hall of Fame voice of the Blackhawks, will check one off his bucket list when he spends some time in the booth calling the Cubs-Cardinals game tonight.

Foley spent 39 years as the Blackhawks’ play-by-play voice and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014. He retired after the 2021-22 season, calling it one helluva career.
