Jack Corrigan - Rockies Q&A
Jack's Bio:
-
Jack Corrigan celebrates his 25th season broadcasting Major League Baseball and his 8th campaign with the Rockies Radio Network. Corrigan came to Colorado after 17 years in the Cleveland Indians television booth from 1985-2001. At the time, his 17 years of broadcasting Tribe games on TV was the longest tenure among television announcers in team's history.
In addition to his work in baseball, Corrigan was involved from 1982-88 with play-by-play and color commentary for the Cleveland Cavaliers telecasts and the MISL Cleveland Force. Beginning in 1989, he was the "television voice" for college football and basketball games for the Atlantic Coast Conference, Mid-American Conference and Patriot League. Corrigan was behind the mike for what is considered to be one of the greatest basketball games in ACC history, a double overtime affair between North Carolina and Duke on March 3, 1984. The Tar Heels won the contest 96-83 in what was Michael Jordan’s final appearance in Chapel Hill.
In the summer of 2005, Jack published his first novel, Warning Track, a book about an aging baseball player dealing with the lure and repercussions of supplement use. His second novel, 24 December, 1944, based on an incident during World War II, is scheduled to be released this year, and he is already at work on a third novel dealing with the early days of the FBI.
A native Clevelander, Jack is a graduate of St. Ignatius High School and Cornell University, where he played football for four seasons. He also has a master's degree in Speech from Kent State University. During the off-seasons, Jack coached football at St. Ignatius, the 10-time Ohio state champions and three-time national champs. He is also involved with his own video company that has produced a myriad of projects for sports entities and other commercial and non-profit organizations.
Jack and his wife, Lisa, have two children, Megan, a graduate of Mercyhurst College, who now lives in Casper, WY with her husband, John, where they are expecting the newest Rockies fan in late spring, and Mike, a Loyola Marymount University graduate, now working in Chicago for Zapwater Communications, a public relations firm. Jack serves on the Board of Directors for Boys Hope/Girls Hope, a privately funded, non-profit, organization that helps at-risk children, and both he and Lisa are also active with Seeds of Hope, a scholarship program that benefits inner city schools.
