Pat Pieper was the public address, field announcer for the Chicago Cubs for most of his life. He started out selling peanuts, and when he advanced to calling the lineups he was using a large megaphone. Pat died in 1976 well into his 80s and was still announcing at that time. Pat Pieper was my mother's great uncle, so my brother and I had the privelege of attending Cubs games with him as children, and we were able to meet many of the greats including Ernie Banks and Casey Stengel.
