RedHawks’ Jack Michaels named American Association Broadcaster of the Year

FARGO (KVRR) – FM RedHawks announcer Jack Michaels has been named the 2024 American Association Professional Baseball Broadcaster of the Year.

The veteran broadcaster, who completed his 19th full-time season as the Voice of the RedHawks this summer, has been a mainstay at Newman Outdoor Field, since calling the team’s first games in 1996.

Michaels’ signature home run call “Track it down, Marge!” has become synonymous with RedHawks baseball.

Michaels was the team’s first play-by-play broadcaster from 1996-2005, working alongside L.A. Dodgers legend Maury Wills for much of that time.

Michaels returned in 2015, taking over announcing duties once again.
