Wayne Randazzo quickly recorded a corresponding phone prompt after the Kane County Cougars agreed to a two-year player-development contract with the Cubs last month.

A little less than an hour later, those buzzing about a partnership club officials deemed a natural heard notes from the soundtrack to “The Natural” playing beneath Randazzo’s words.

In the two weeks since the Cougars and Cubs teamed at the Low-A level, plenty of fans have called the Cougars front office and waited on hold. Some eventually hear Randazzo live. The club’s radio voice on AM-1280 WBIG doubles as a member of the sales staff, and there have been no worries whatsoever about dead air.
