Personal life and education
A native of Cohasset, Massachusetts, Monaco was a three-sport athlete at Cohasset High School. He attended the University of Notre Dame and wrote for the school's student newspaper with the intent to become a Major League Baseball general manager, similar to the path former Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein had when he attended Yale. Monaco eventually transitioned to the school radio station at Notre Dame and subsequently began his broadcasting career.
Monaco currently resides in Chicago.
Career
Monaco interned at NESN in 2012 while at Notre Dame, before broadcasting Fighting Irish sporting events. In 2013 and 2014, he called games for the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He also called Western Michigan Broncos basketball games while at Notre Dame before interning with the Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox as a radio broadcaster in 2017.
Monaco joined ESPN in 2019 after two years working with Fox Sports and the Big Ten Network. He was named the alternate television play-by-play voice for the Boston Red Sox in 2019, filling in for regular play-by-play voice Dave O'Brien when O'Brien had prior commitments calling college football on the ACC Network.

“Mike Monaco” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mike, Monaco and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q116278088. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
