My son loved every minute of the Fan to Fan program! It was amazing watching Jeff Parles and his fellow professionals share their enthusiasm for sports and their broadcasting expertise so generously and patiently, and it was heartwarming to see their genuine delight when my son’s ability to announce games blossomed under their guidance.”
