The PA announcer at Lamson Park

[cajun67]

Rob has never received any money for doing the announcing and it does take alot of his time. He is definitely a hardcore CAJUN FAN for sure.

And an excellent auctioneer also. Does a great job for a number of UL events such as the Wisdom Crawfish Boil, Spring Gala.... Very giving guy.

Homeboy from Jeanerette! What sport does his son play?

Baseball.

Great family. Represent UL well.

This guy is pretty damn funny!.. He tells cajun jokes between batters, mixes the music up from AC/DC to Zydeco. much more entertaining than the men's games..At the men's games I really get tired of that " dudu du dududu hey! duh duh duh duhduhduh hey! ect...20 times a game!.. Anyone know who he is?... He had the crowd laughing all afternoon.. One of his jokes: 'What do you call a sleepwalking nun?.......... A roaming Catholic..... Anyway, I thought he was a nice change than the boring play by the rules announcers..

His name? Hmmmmmmm. He's only been there since the park opened umpteen years ago. Nice to have FINALLY seen you at Lampson

My only grip about Rob is that (I) don't understand what he is saying sometimes. He is to close to the mike and he should keep the same volumn in his voice. He is up and down the scale in volumn. Talks to fast at times. Where is TD. Can't beat that voice as a PA.....

Rob doesn't need a spotter to tell him what sport he is callin though.

Z, I would only suggest that he eliminate the Obama jokes. It's not the place for that. While I thought they (yes, multiple poems about Obama) were funny, the parents of a aTm -cc player behind me DID NOT think they at all appropriate. Lil awkward.

Good thing Rob didn't know about that complaint..... he would have aired A request asking them if they are the parents who complained about their kid having to speak English in classes at A&M CC. Or the ones who were miffed when "PRESS 2 for Spanish" was removed from the food stamp offices in Austin and Del Rio.

Sports and politics do not go together. Religion and politics don't either but people have a hard time distinguishing between the two. While representing UL I would hope he would refrain from any political banter, regardless of the political climate of South Louisiana. There is a place for that...it's called KPEL 96.5 FM. Also, it seems some people forgot our ancestors didn't speak English either when they came over. My how times have changed.

When those ancestors came over not speaking English, it was not as an illegal and nobody ever gave them a dime from the fedral or state coffer. Big difference. In that time there was all sorts of language, all have merged into something called American English. Sooner or later the Spanish will be absorbed.

You are comparing apples to oranges. How sure are you that had the Acadians been deported in 2000 instead of 1800 that the majority of our people would not be suckling at the federal teet? I know several people of Cajun descent, too many to count actually who already do(WIC, Medicaid, Food Stamps). What was considered an illegal at the time of Le Grande Derangement? Our ancestors were chastised and ostracized for their lack of English speaking ability, same as you are doing today to Spanish speaking individuals. I guarantee that, had our ancestors arrived around 2000, there would be French speaking phone options at every government office and many other establishments. And I also guarantee you that someone would have a problem with it.

Hmmm, just never noticed him I guess.. Must be the new blaring sound system... And, I've been to umpteen softball games and have been a Ragin Cajun Supporter for over thirty five years. Cheers....

I've known harris for years, not understanding what he is saying is not a bad thing. I would worry about you if you understood everything that came out of his mouth!!! BTW, Rob is a great guy and was (he is old now) very talented athlete in his own right. His wife Tiffany was a cajun softball player, so I guess you can say lady cajun softball is a family affair.

Not saying that he is not a good guy. That he is. Just not a very good PA announcer. Not concerned about what comes out of his mouth in his comic retain, just would like to understand the flow of the game in introductions and who is coming to the plate and info after each inning. Runs, hits and errows.........and yes the 50-50 numbers could be a little more plainly called out.....but he is stlll a nice guy.
