Jason Benetti’s dream job was to broadcast games for the team of his youth, the White Sox. Against all odds, Benetti, who grew up in south suburban Homewood, lived out that dream when he became a Sox TV announcer in 2016. He turned into a fan favorite and grew his national profile.
But circumstances around the job became anything but dreamy. Last week, Benetti left the Sox, who let him out of the final year of his contract, to become the TV voice of the division-rival Tigers, who offered more money and scheduling flexibility.
