Alex Anthony

Alex Anthony is best known as the Public Address announcer for Major League Baseball's New York Mets
Alex grew up in Garden City, New York, a largely upper-middle class suburb of New York City. He came from a Greek-American family, and his father was a furrier. His childhood nickname was "Zook" — a derivative of his real last name.[citation needed]
He was a very good baseball player — going on to play for Adelphi University, but was even more well known in his community for providing play-by-play commentary of neighborhood stickball and softball games.
Other Announcing Work
Apart from in-stadium sports announcing, he also does voice-over work on several radio and television commercials, and video games, such as Grand Theft Auto.[1] Anthony also works as an announcer for harness racing events held at Yonkers Raceway on days when the Mets are not playing.
