In 1925 he became the first regular baseball announcer when WMAQ began regularly broadcasting Cub home games. In 1926, Totten began calling Chicago White Sox games as well. In 1933, Totten became the first person to call the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. He is also credited as the first announcer to conduct on-field interviews. In additional to baseball, Totten also called Chicago Maroons football and boxing, including the 1927 Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney Long Count Fight. In 1945, Totten, then working for WGN, was reassigned to farm reporter. He also served as a backup announcer for Mutual's Game of the Day.
