Chicago Cubs hire a history-making 21-year-old announcer

A new voice is filling Wrigley Field, home to the Chicago Cubs. The team's new public address announcer is 21-year-old Jeremiah Paprocki. He's making history as the first Black and youngest PA announcer. CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz speaks with him about how he landed his dream job thanks to his mother's love of the game.
Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

[@shenpet3391]

He has a great voice, and being the first black Cubs PA is a great accomplishment, idk why people can’t accept that

[@justsaynototv8366]

He looks older than 21.

[@anthonyr8253]

Congrats Jeremiah! Sounds like they've got the right guy for the job, keep up the good work. Good luck!

[@thaddineswifteagle7626]

It only too more than 100 years. "1870" - "2021"

[@jimfaulkner2771]

Damn .. He is good !!!!

[@flawaii-pines6858]

His hiring has nothing to do with his partially black skin color. Its his vocal talent. Way to keep racism alive.

[@ElliotAlderson9820]

They are simply pointing out the fact that he is the first black person to do the job, which is an important thing to note. You’re triggered because you’re in all likelihood a racist.

[@flawaii-pines6858]

@@ElliotAlderson9820 A person's skin color should never be "an important thing to note." Skin color is irrelevant.

[@ericfluellen8957]

Many good blessings Jeremiah.

[@gabel4277]

I was concern about his 21 year old voice but he has a great announcers voice👍👍👍👍💯

[@ShaneSILVA187]

Doesn't have anything to do with the fact that hes black....

[@ManiacGamesReal]

Me and my homies like this

[@heroncabo3756]

Um bom dia pra todos vocês jornalista parabéns 👏👏🇧🇷

[@simplertimes3948]

Huge risk. Trusting a 21 year old with reading promos and player names into a microphone. Why not go full woke and get a black guy who is also gay and handicapped? That's a keeper!

[@mtndewman1022]

you forgot muslim!

[@mike15280]

He sounds great I really need to catch my pirates playing at Wrigley Field Someday

[@SteveCarrDrivesAPrius]

The man is good. Y'all triflin about racism when you should shut up and listen to the damn ballgame.

What is she wearing omg I hope that's not the new fashion

[@LittleMister29]

Does he sound like Barack Obama to anyone else

[@jimkozubek4026]

Stop making race a thing. Just hire the best people.

[@lucashoffman2441]

He clearly is the best one to hire? Who doesn't hire the best applicant at any company? Excluding companies who use staffing agencies.

[@brandonrife1172]

True and also heesmixed

[@greensky01]

If race and color don’t matter, then why keep bringing up that he is black?! Why not emphasize his accomplishments, his path that took him there, why not?!
