For nearly three decades Sean Moth has been the voice of Louisville Cardinals baseball, calling games during one of their longest periods of sustained excellence in the sport. But ahead of the 2027 college baseball season, Moth has decided that 27 years is enough.

Taking to X this morning, Moth announced that he is retiring from his role as the radio voice of Louisville baseball. He offered thanks to everyone who made his time at the school great, highlighting the program’s six trips to the College World Series and said he’s looking forward to enjoying the games as a fan from now on.

“It somehow seems fitting. There are 27 outs in a baseball game. I have been with Louisville Baseball for 27 years. Now the time has come for me to pass the blank canvas to another voice and allow them to dig into their palette of colors and assortment of brushes to paint fans the picture of Louisville Cardinals baseball…” Moth wrote in his announcement before thanking everyone.

“I will miss you. I will miss the game. I will miss the south bound trains. The daisy cutters. Shark-fin shadows and cats loose in the alley. But I am excited to be a fan, and see what the stretch from Valentine’s Day to Memorial Day can be like not having to prepare 56 games in 95 days and beyond. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to occupy that seat. We will see you at the ballpark.”

Tributes to Moth’s Career

Fans and media people everywhere have collectively tipped their caps to Moth after his years of work with the team:

“There are no words to describe how good Sean Moth is behind the microphone. I’m gutted while at the same time so happy for you, Sean. Cardinal legend,” Kevin Wright wrote on X.

“Wow. It won’t be the same without @CardsPA on the mic at Jim Patterson Stadium or wherever the Cards are on the road,” wrote Jared Stillman.

“An absolute legend. Thank you, Sean,” Tayler Lynch of 93.9 The Ville wrote.

Moth’s 27-year run included the transition from Lelo Prado to Dan McDonnell as head coach of the program in 2007, and the decade-plus of dominance that followed.

Since 2008 the Cardinals have won nine regular season titles, several conference tournaments and reached the College World Series six times, most recently in 2025, when they fell to Coastal Carolina in the semifinals.

We wish Moth all the best in his future endeavors.
