New Voice of Oriole Park chosen

BALTIMORE (WMAR) - The Orioles have announced the winner of their Voice of Oriole Park competition.

Ryan Wagner was chosen to be the new public address announcer out of a field of 670 applicants.

An Orioles fan originally from Baltimore, Wagner spent last season as a resident of Major League Baseball's Fan Cave, watching more than 2,450 major league games at a 15,000 square foot space in Greenwich Village in New York City.

Wagner also co-hosted a series of interactive sketch comedy skits and conducted interviews with MLB players and celebrities.

"As a lifelong Orioles fan, being named the Voice of Oriole Park at Camden Yards is indescribably amazing," Wagner said. "I spent my childhood attending games at Camden Yards, often pretending to be Rex Barney or David McGowan announcing Orioles legends. I will never forget the happiness and excitement I felt when I became a member of the Orioles organization, and I promise every Oriole fan that they will hear my very best effort, every time they come to the greatest ballpark in professional baseball."

The search of the New Voice of Oriole Park at Camden yards attracted more than 670 applicants, and a committee narrowed the search from there.
