Baysox PA Announcer Gets the Call-Up
Roberson has been the voice behind the Baysox public address system for the past eight seasons, and after being a finalist for the Orioles full-time PA job this Spring, she is finally getting the call to the Major Leagues. She was one of 25 finalists out of a pool of 670 applicants to replace former Orioles PA Announcer Dave McGowan, who stepped down before the start of the 2012 season.
"Adrienne performed extremely well during the tryout process, and it was clear to us that she is the consummate professional," said Orioles Director of Communications Greg Bader. "When we made our final selection to go with Ryan Wagner for the full-time role, we were sure to let Adrienne know that as a finalist, we wanted to find ways to potentially utilize her talents in the future, and we are excited to have been able to bring her on board for Mother's Day."
"I am really looking forward to announcing the game at Camden Yards on Mother's Day" Roberson said. "Announcing is my dream job and I get to do it 71 times a year at the Bowie Baysox and love it. The people I work with make it so enjoyable and we strive to put on a great show for the fans. I am honored that I have been asked to announce an Orioles game at Camden Yards, in its 20th season, after a long but great audition process for the new Orioles' announcer. I am looking forward to being there on Sunday afternoon."
