FERGUS FALLS JOURNAL — Bob Roers ’86, a 1981 graduate of Fergus Falls High School, relishes his role as a public address announcer for the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks baseball team. He has held this job since 2014.
“Baseball has always been a huge part of my family,” Roers said. “Growing up with my three brothers, playing baseball his how we spent our summers. My dad, Dennis Roers, coached us and my mom, Irma, was always in the stands or in a lawn chair watching us.”
The family moved from La Crosse, Wisconsin, to Fergus Falls in 1979, the high school sophomore year for Roers. They previously lived in Alexandria.
He was a three-year baseball letter winner for the Otters, later graduating from St. Cloud State University. Over the years, while working in sales in Seattle, Minneapolis and St. Cloud, he had an opportunity to keep himself close to sports media as a freelancer in production and play-by-play.
