Few Tucsonans are enjoying the summer more than Pueblo High School and UA grad Francisco Romero, who is the Spanish-language play-by-play voice of the American League West-leading Houston Astros. Romero last week was selected to the Pueblo Warrior Foundation Hall of Fame, Class of 2017. The 1987 Pueblo grad, who has been the Spanish play-by-play man of Arizona football and basketball for 10 seasons, is in his ninth year with the Astros. He previously worked for the Diamondbacks, Brewers and Twins. Romero grew up in Nogales, Sonora, listening to the Dodgers’ Spanish radio broadcasts before moving to Tucson when he was 12. He will be honored Nov. 5.
