August 2, 2024 – It is with great sadness that the Toledo Mud Hens announce the passing of longtime play-by-play announcer Jim Weber. Weber served as “Voice of the Hens” for 49 years. The Toledo native first took to the airwaves for the Mud Hens on April 12, 1975, calling the team’s road game against Charleston, West Virginia. From that moment, he became a staple of the ball club and never missed a game. During his career, he called over 6,000 consecutive games for the team.

Weber achieved numerous accomplishments in his broadcasting career, including calling the Mud Hens’ Governors Cup Championship teams in 2005 and 2006. He was also awarded the play-by-play duties of two International League All-Star contests in 1990 (in Las Vegas) and when the game was held at Fifth Third Field in 2006. He was inducted into the IL Hall of Fame as a first ballot inductee in 2014.
