Vergil Patrick "Pat" Hughes (born May 27, 1955 in Tucson, Arizona) has been the play-by-play voice of the Chicago Cubs since 1996. He partnered with color commentator Ron Santo, former Hall of Fame third baseman for the Cubs from 1996 to 2010, until Santo died of diabetes. Their unique on-air chemistry came to be known as the "Pat and Ron Show." Prior to joining the Cubs broadcast booth, Hughes spent 12 years calling games for the Milwaukee Brewers, with legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker. Hughes also spent 17 years as a radio television play-by-play man for Marquette University basketball.
