“Pops” will once again call the action of all 68 regular season games on the Logger Radio Network and is the longest tenured play-by-play man in the Northwoods League. Pappadopoulos has seen and called every Logger game but one since the
Loggers inception in 2003.

For the past five years, he has also worked as the news and sports director at WCOW/WKLJ.

During his eleven years in broadcasting he has worked as a reporter or broadcaster for three different Minor League baseball teams and the Loggers. John met his wife, Polly, when he moved to La Crosse in 2000 and they have a daughter named Olivia.
