Bob Socci on being Voice of the Patriots and Super Bowl calls

Growing up in Auburn, NY, Socci became a big baseball fan and fell in love with Tom Seaver and the NY Mets. He soon started playing baseball while also announcing it as the Public Address announcer of his little league. After high school, Socci attended the University of Dayton to pursue his broadcasting career. An internship with the Cincinnati Reds gave Bob the outlet to do mock broadcasts of Reds games.  His broadcasting career would include plenty of stops in minor league baseball where he reached the AAA level several times including stops with the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Norfolk Tides and Pawtucket Red Sox. Bob also enjoyed a 15-year run as the Voice of Navy football and basketball. Then in 2013, Socci was hired to replace long-time New England Patriots radio announcer Gil Santos. During his stint with the Pats, Socci has already called three Super Bowl wins (XLIX in 2014, LI in 2016 and LIII in 2018). Bob shares his journey with us including what it was like to call the Army/Navy games, the long road to becoming the Voice of the Patriots and his final calls in the Super Bowl victories.  Plus, we get his thoughts on winning the 2021 Massachusetts Sportscaster of the Year from the National Sports Media Association.
