Cantor takes swing at minor league baseball

(March 17, 2011) Seth Cantor has considerable college football and basketball play-by-play experience but has always wanted to try his hand at minor league baseball. Now he is getting his chance. An STAA client, Cantor is joining the expansion Rockland Boulders as Corporate Sales Coordinator/Broadcaster.

“It combines my major market sales experience with my goals as a play-by-play broadcaster,” says Cantor.

With Rockland, Cantor will share the broadcasting booth with fellow STAA client Carmine Vetrano, who is also entering his first season as a minor league baseball broadcaster.

“The sales aspect is good,” says Cantor, who has billed more than $2-million in sales as a former account executive for WWFS radio in New York, NY “I told myself if I were to get back into sales it would be with a baseball team or some other team. I believe in sports, so the sales comes naturally for me.”

A client since STAA’s inception in 2005, Cantor recently finished his second season as play-by-play voice of NCAA Division I St. Francis College men’s basketball. He also broadcasts U.S. Merchant Marine Academy football and has done freelance work for Cornell University, St. John’s University and Manhattan College. He is a graduate of Ithaca College.
