John Rooney (born 1954) is an American sportscaster, currently best known for his role as a play-by-play announcer for radio broadcasts of Major League Baseball's St. Louis Cardinals.

A Richmond, Missouri, native, Rooney began his broadcast career in the 1970s, doing a number of assignments for various radio stations in Missouri and Oklahoma. In 1980, he began calling play-by-play for the Oklahoma City 89ers, a minor league baseball team. He broadcast for the Louisville Redbirds beginning in 1983. He also called Missouri basketball for many years, and did Chicago Bulls radio from 1989-91.

Rooney broadcast for the Minnesota Twins in the mid-1980s. In 1988, he joined the Chicago White Sox' television crew; the following year he switched to the team's radio booth, where he teamed with Wayne Hagin (1989–1991) and Ed Farmer (1992–2005).

In September 2005 it was announced that Rooney would be leaving the White Sox' radio crew after 18 years, due to a salary dispute with their new flagship station. His final broadcast with the team was Game 4 of the 2005 World Series, which ended in the White Sox' first Series championship since 1917. The following season he joined the Cardinals' radio crew on KTRS, teaming with former player and veteran broadcaster Mike Shannon. The Cardinals won the 2006 World Series, so Rooney has the unusual distinction of having called successive championship seasons for different teams.

Sergio Lorenzo "Serge" Pizzorno (Born 15 December 1980 in Newton Abbot, Devon) is a British guitarist and songwriter, best known for his work with the indie rock band Kasabian. He is Kasabian's lead song-writer after the departure of Christopher Karloff. He is also one half of Psychedelic Indie-Rock duo, Loose Tapestries, which he formed with Noel Fielding after they worked together on the music for the latter's sketch-comedy show, Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy.

Serge's father emigrated from Genoa, Italy to England and settled in Leicester. Despite being brought up in the city, Serge was born in Newton Abbot, Devon. Serge originally had intentions to start a career in football. He says “I told my careers adviser I wanted to be centre forward for Leicester City. When he said 'No' I thought I'd be in a rock 'n' roll band." He also stated as a young boy that his main aim in life is to become as successful as possible.

Serge is not seen as being fond of Kasabian being compared to similar, older bands, including Oasis and The Stone Roses. He says “The foreign fans listen to the music more and don’t call us The Stone Roses or anything. “I think they get us for who we are, especially in France and places like that. There’s no baggage like in the UK.”^{[citation needed]}
