As reported by the Cardinals' flagship radio station KMOX 1120 AM,
Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon is recovering well this week after
undergoing a successful surgical procedure on Monday to replace his aorta
valve.
The surgery had been planned for some time, and according to
the St. Louis Cardinals, Shannon is expected to make a
complete recovery. He says through family that he expects to return to the
broadcast booth before the end of the regular season.
"I would like to thank everyone for their prayers,
heartfelt well-wishes and kind words. It means a lot to me," Shannon said to KMOX. "I'm looking forward to
getting back in the booth and back to the game I love."
A rotation of Cardinals announcers will fill in for Shannon during his recovery. Al Hrabosky, Rick Horton and
Mike Claiborne will be joining John Rooney in the radio booth through Sept. 23,
the date Shannon plans to return.
