ESPN Sportscaster Mic

Play ball! Or at least announce it. This ESPN-emblazoned microphone connects to a speaker, which amplifies the novice sportscaster's voice as well as sound effects, like SportsCenter music and applause, that come in handy when calling football, baseball, and basketball games. SportsCenter anchor Steve Levy lent his dulcet tones to the mic as well, so you can play his token phrases when your voice gets hoarse.
