I’ve been staying late at work waiting for an ESPN press release on Monday Night Football, I get one on ESPN Radio’s assignments for the League Division Series. Not particularly thrilled seeing Chris Berman’s name as he can barely call a game on TV, but I digress. Here’s ESPN Radio’s release.
All Post-Season Games Including the World Series
ESPN Radio’s 12th consecutive season of Major League Baseball post-season programming will include live play-by-play coverage of every League Division Series, League Championship Series, and World Series game.
Making his debut in the ESPN Radio booth debut will be Major League infielder Aaron Boone, whose post-season history includes an 11th inning home run in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS lifting the Yankees past the Red Sox 6-5.
