As a radio play-by-play announcer for a minor league baseball team in Pittsfield, MA, Connell McShane had to be up on his baseball knowledge. Years later baseball information turned to financial news and Plainview native Connell McShane reached the grand point in a career that continues to soar.

McShane joined Fox Business Network in September of 2007 and when it was launched to millions of homes on Oct. 15, 2007, McShane was at the helm.
