Frattare to Waynesburg U.

By Jason Togyer

Pittsburgh: Longtime Pirates play-by-play man Lanny Frattare has joined the faculty at Waynesburg University, the school announced today.

Frattare, who was heard on Bucs broadcasts for 33 years until retiring at the end of last season, will serve as an assistant professor of communications and special assistant to the department of university relations.

His teaching duties will include courses in sportscasting, news announcing and public speaking, and he will also work with student sportscasters for the university's athletics games, the school said in a press release.

A private university affiliated with the Presbyterian church, Waynesburg is located south of Pittsburgh in Greene County and has about 2,500 students, including 1,500 undergraduates.

I wish Lanny the best of luck in his new endeavor. I will miss his wonderful descriptions of the Bucs on the air, and certainly Pirate fans loss is Waynesburg University’s gain.
