2019 LOGGERS Radio Network
John Pappadopoulos, Radio play-by-play
The “Voice of the Loggers” for the fi rst 10 seasons of Loggers baseball (‘03-’12), Mr. John Pap-
padopoulos (Pop-a-dop-a-lus), re-joined the La Crosse Loggers broadcast team again in 2017.
During those fi rst 10 years of announcing Loggers baseball, “Pops” called every game but one
during that time span. In 2013, Pappadopoulos stepped away from the Loggers but certainly not
the broadcast booth as he had the distinct privilege to serve as the color analyst for the Mem-
phis Redbirds, the Triple A affl iate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Pappadopoulos brings a great deal of experience with him to the Loggers, with time served as the voice of the La
Crosse Night Train of the NIFL, the backup voice of the La Crosse Bobcats CBA basketball team, as well as the
news and sports director at WCOW/WKLJ. Additionally, he has also spent time hosting a daily afternoon sports
show on ESPN, covered the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and been a regular ESPN local SportsCenter
anchor. Prior to his move to the Coulee Area, the New Jersey native worked in Boston as an on-air sportscaster at
Sports Radio WEEI. John also has a great deal of experience working in Minor League Baseball. He has worked as a
reporter or broadcaster for three different Minor League clubs. John and his wife, Polly, reside in Holmen, Wis. and
they have a daughter named Olivia.
