Just like it did last year, MLB Network will have extensive programming surrounding the World Series. It will carry “MLB Tonight” pre and postgame shows live from San Francisco and Texas, the sites of this year’s Fall Classic. Hosts Matt Vasgersian and Greg Amsinger will lead the coverage while there will be a cast of 1,000 analysts including Harold Reynolds, Peter Gammons and so many more. I notice Hazel Mae, Matt Yallof and Gammons listed as reporters. What about Friend of Fang’s Bites and thrice-listed Woman Who Can Make Me Stop the Remote Trenni Kusnierek? I don’t see her in the press release. I hope this is an omission and she’ll be reporting.
Here’s the release.
