by Matthew Cerrone on November 27th, 2007 at 4:19 pm

The Phillies have announced that Tom McCarthy, who spent the last two seasons as a play-by-play announcer for the Mets on WFAN, is ‘returning to his roots’ as a member of the Phillies broadcasting team.

McCarthy was a broadcaster for the Phillies from 2001 through the 2005 season, and also hosted the team’s pre- and post-game shows.

McCarthy, as quoted in a team press release…

“I’m excited to be back in Philadelphia.  I enjoyed my two years with WFAN and the Mets.  Both are first-class, as are the Phillies.  I’m looking forward to returning and can’t wait for spring training to get here.”
