This could be your chance to channel your inner Harry Caray.

OK, so you're not gonna be a radio star, like the late Caray, but you could become the voice of the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field.

The Chicago Cubs on Monday announced they are seeking a public-address announcer for home games, and they've apparently begun a nationwide search.

According to the team, current PA announcer Paul Friedman has decided n to "pursue a new job opportunity" and will be unable to work day games at Wrigley.

The team said in a news release that candidates must have "strong vocal talent, skilled readership and a deep knowledge of baseball." Candidates also must "be comfortable announcing to sold-out crowds and proficient at enunciating complex player names."

Typically a PA announcer reads starting lineups and advertisements and introduce players as they come to bat.

Interested parties may submit applications, including audio or videos, to Chicago Cubs Dream Job.  Professional experience is not necessary but preferred.
