Tony Caridi has always been a sports guy. He grew up near Buffalo, New York, and dreamed of a day when he might work as a professional sports announcer. A friend’s father worked as an announcer with the Buffalo Sabers, making the profession feel within reach. His dreams came true, and Caridi has become one of the most familiar voices on the airwaves through his affiliation with West Virginia University athletics as a play-by-play announcer and as the host of MetroNews Statewide Sportsline. wvmetronews.com/podcast/sportsline, @tony.caridi.7 on FB
