This might be the smartest and coolest business decision any bar in Philadelphia has ever made: During 12 of the Eagles’ 15 remaining games this season, current Phillies (and former Eagles) PA announcer Dan Baker will be bringing his golden pipes to Xfinity Live! as their in-house PA guy.
According to a press release, he’ll be the “host of game day coverage during Philadelphia Eagles home and away games,” and he’ll announce the games over the PA system and lead fans in “Fly Eagles Fly” after every touchdown. Since its inception, Xfinity has been gaming for that “at the game” atmosphere, and they just took one giant leap in that direction. Here are the games Baker will be PA-ing:
Baker has been the Phillies public address guy since 1972 and did Eagles games from 1985 to 2014, so he’s already used to being around you drunken dopes. Good get for Xfinity.
