Dear Mr. Boyer:
I am emailing you this morning regarding your open television broadcaster position. While I understand that the position has not yet been posted online, I did not want to miss the opportunity to share my interest in the role.
I am a life-long Chicago area resident and third generation Sox fan. My grandfather grew up not far from old Comiskey Park and shared stories about Babe Ruth and Al Simmons when I was young. I’ve lived in Downers Grove for the past 20 years and both my sons played little league wearing Sox jerseys through your support.
I am passionate about the White Sox and baseball in general, which is what we need to portray in order to win back our fan base. While I lack professional experience, I’ve had an FCC license since 1989 when I was a high school broadcaster. Also, my friends love my broadcaster voice.
I know the White Sox typically make important hires without any external interviewing process, which is why I thought it was important to make my case for consideration quickly and in a non-traditional way. I believe I would check all the boxes for the position. I’m a huge Sox fan, I have little experience, I don’t have an agent, and I would come cheap compared to what my predecessors were paid. I would be glad to send you broadcasting samples at your convenience, and would welcome the opportunity to meet you in an in-person interview in the near future.
Sincerely,
White Sox Wade
