"I'm beyond thrilled to join the Salem Red Sox organization and be a part of the Salem and Roanoke Valley communities," said Wong. "It's an honor to follow in the footsteps of so many great broadcasters that have passed through Salem and I hope to carry on that legacy. I'm extremely grateful to Allen Lawrence, Steven Elovich and the rest of the front office for allowing me this incredible opportunity and I look forward to calling Salem Memorial Ballpark home."
