We remember Barry from the Philly Force days and it makes me very happy to see a local connection to the team! Hopefully one day that NY/NJ moniker can change to an LV! (A guy can wish right?)
From the @NYNJComets:
Bridgewater, NJ – May 2, 2013 – Owner/GM, Michael Neuwirth announced today that Barry Eisenberg will be the voice of the Comets beginning with the 2013 season.
Eisenberg is a veteran Announcer, Voice Over Artist and Field Reporter with more than 13 years on-air experience. He started his career in 1999 with Cablevision of NY covering local events then joined the NPF in 2004 as the voice of the NY/NJ Juggernaut. Eisenberg joined the Philadelphia Force in 2006 and was named Director of Broadcast Operations. His responsibilities included broadcasting games on the internet and hosting the team’s weekly television show on Service Electric Cable TV in the Lehigh Valley. Eisenberg formed an internet radio station called Christmas City Broadcasting Network where he currently serves as President.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to broadcast the Comets games over the internet,” Eisenberg stated. “This will give softball fans around the world the chance to listen in as the greatest female athletes on the planet go head to head for a shot at the championship. On a personal level, I am thrilled to be back in the booth for the NPF after a 3 year hiatus. I think the Comets ownership and management are rock solid, have a forward-thinking approach, and are dedicated to winning in the largest media market on earth. I don’t think it will be too long before the Comets win their first title and I can’t wait to be there for it.”
