| FOX SPORTS TURNS TRIPLE PLAY WITH NEW ANALYSTS New York & Los Angeles – FOX Sports announces a few hot-stove acquisitions to enhance an already solid lineup. World Series-winning catcher and 2006 National League Manager of the Year Joe Girardi, World Series and Gold Glove-winning first baseman Mark Grace and first baseman and 1992 National League Rookie of the Year Eric Karros join FOX’s Emmy Award-winning Major League Baseball coverage as analysts. The threesome join veteran game analyst Tim McCarver and rotate between the FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK pregame show and game coverage each week. “In their short broadcasting careers, Joe, Mark and Eric have each demonstrated an ability to bring a unique and fresh perspective to the games they cover,” said Goren. “Their addition to our announcer lineup lends unparalleled depth to our broadcast teams.” In another new addition to MLB on FOX’s weekly coverage, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder and fan favorite Eric Byrnes contributes a monthly feature to the FOX SATURDAY GAME OF THE WEEK pregame show. Byrnes’ segment offers an entertaining behind-the-scenes look at life in the major leagues. The 2008 season marks FOX Sports’ 13th straight as the broadcast home of Major League Baseball and the first of a new rights agreement with MLB. This agreement includes 26 consecutive weeks of exclusive FOX SATURDAY GAME OF THE WEEK coverage, the All-Star Game, alternating League Championships Series and the World Series through the 2013 season. |
