Goldberg-Strassler Named Sports Broadcaster of the Year

Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, former Greenbelter and broadcaster of Lansing Lugnuts, received the 2019 Broadcaster of the Year award. Goldberg-Strassler is the author of The Baseball Thesaurus and The Football Thesaurus and the award winner of the 2013 Midwest League Broadcaster award. In 2004, Goldberg-Strassler interviewed for several teams at the winter meetings and was hired as a pre-game/post-game operator for the Brockton Rox in the CanAm League. Since 2009, he has been at Lansing Lugnuts, according to an article by Jarah Wright. Dan Shulman, ESPN/Sportsnet, comments on Goldberg-Strassler’s website that “Jesse is a pleasure to listen to. His love for baseball and for calling a game comes across in his work. He is as easy to get along with as he is to listen to. Combine that with all the young broadcasters he has mentored over the years, and Jesse brings a lot to our industry.”
