The Chatham Athletic Association announced today that play-by-play broadcaster Emmanuel Berbari will return and team with Ben Shulman in the Anglers booth. Berbari, a senior at Fordham University, and Shulman, a junior at Syracuse University, will provide play-by-play for every Chatham regular season and postseason game live on the Cape Cod Baseball Network. This will be the duo's first season on Cape Cod after the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID-19. Their first live broadcast is scheduled for June 12 when Chatham visits Falmouth.

"In Emmanuel and Ben, we have two remarkably experienced and professional broadcasters who will carry on Chatham's strong tradition of play-by-play excellence,' CAA Media Consultant Dan D'Uva said. "They epitomize the journalism tenets professed at their respective renowned universities and stand out for their quality of work, integrity of character and ambition to grow.

"As we eagerly await the return of Anglers baseball, we also look forward to Emmanuel and Ben as our trusted, happy companions on the air ' sharing stories, painting word pictures and talking baseball. We're proud to have them as part of the Chatham family."'
