Vergil Patrick "Pat" Hughes has been the play-by-play voice of the Chicago Cubs, working for WGN radio, since 1996. He partnered with color commentator Ron Santo, former Hall of Fame third baseman for the Cubs from 1996 until 2010, when Santo died of cancer. Their unique on-air chemistry came to be known as the "Pat and Ron Show". Prior to joining the Cubs broadcast booth, Hughes spent 12 years calling games for the Milwaukee Brewers, with the legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker. Hughes also spent 17 years as a radio television play-by-play man for Marquette University basketball.
