Sunday MLB on TBS Goes To The Great Midwest

On Sunday, MLB on TBS goes to Kansas City for a rare visit. But with the New York Yankees involved, we an see why Turner Sports went to KC. But at least the Sunday MLB on TBS can get some really good barbecue.

Brian Anderson will be on the call for TBS and Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley and sure-HoF’er John Smoltz will be the analysts.

This will be the second TBS game for Brian this season. Here’s the TBS statement on the game.
