Zane Bloom

Zane is FanSided's Pens Labyrinth site co-expert. In 2021, Zane began his career in the sport industry as an analytics intern with the Wilmington Sharks Baseball club. While there he seized the opportunity to begin broadcasting, which led him to where he is now, calling games as the voice of the Lake Erie Crushers professional baseball club in Avon, Ohio. Zane is a Pittsburgh fan through and through, co-hosting the Steelers' Boardman Black and Gold podcast and being a frequent critic of his beloved Pittsburgh Pirates. When he's not calling games or writing, Zane is playing any sport he can get his hands on, beating his family at board games, or learning Japanese.
