Overview

• Paul Olden will miss the July 11–13 series against the Cubs to attend his grand-nephew’s wedding, ending a run of 1,339 straight home games since 2009.
• The only other break in Olden’s tenure came in 2020 when two “home” playoff games in San Diego were handled by Petco Park staff.
• Mark Fratto—whose résumé includes PA duties for New York City FC, the Washington Wizards and Commanders—steps in for this weekend.
• Fratto’s long-standing roles at Madison Square Garden and in Golden Boy Boxing broadcasts aim to preserve the stadium’s game-day atmosphere.
• Olden is scheduled to resume his duties on July 14, maintaining his place among baseball’s most consistent public address voices.
