About our Host

Joe Klimchak '91 has been studying the art of public speaking for more than 40 years. Fascinated by television broadcasters at a young age, Joe's dream was to become either a Major League Baseball stadium announcer or a game show host. Both dreams came true in 2005 when he was named the Pittsburgh Pirates' In-Game Host, and over the past 19 seasons, he's had the chance to welcome more than 30 million baseball fans to PNC Park. Joe also served as the Sports Information Director at Grove City College from 1991-2000.
