Ex-Midwest League Announcers in the playoffs

Meet Dave Wills of the Tampa Bay Rays
Wills' baseball broadcasting career began with the Kane County Cougars in 1991. He moved up to the Sox as a host and occasional fill-in for John Rooney in 1995 (along with winter work calling University of Illinois at Chicago basketball), and moved to the booth of the then-Devil Rays in 2005. Working with broadcaster Andy Freed, Wills is living a dream. The only way it could be better is if Tampa Bay made it to the World Series.
Meet Scott Franzke of the Philadelphia Phillies.
...spent three years [1999-2001] as the voice of the "Kane County Cougars," a Class A affiliate of the Florida Marlins in Geneva, Il just outside of Chicago.
Phillies? Cougars? 1999-2001? I know this guy. Do you think I could get tickets for today's Game Four at Miller Park?
