Chris Wheeler
From BR Bullpen
Chris Wheeler (born August 9, 1945 in Philadelphia, PA) has been a broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies since 1977. His broadcasting partners often call him "Wheels". His listeners often call him "Worthless". He is one of the few color-commentators in Major League Baseball who never played professional baseball.
An informative website has been created to document his distinctive broadcasting style: The Chris Wheeler Glossary .
