FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK BEGINS SATURDAY, APRIL 11
Chris Rose to Host New Pregame & Postgame Show On Location
MLB on FOX Joins Twitter Nation
New York & Los Angeles – FOX Sports launches its 14th season this
Saturday, April 11 (4:00 PM ET), once again bringing fans Major League
Baseball’s top weekend matchups with regional coverage of the FOX
SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK. Week 1 includes a replay of last
year’s thrilling ALDS as American League MVP Dustin Pedroia and the
Boston Red Sox travel west to face Vladimir Guerrero and the Los
Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Other action includes the Minnesota Twins
taking on the Chicago White Sox, who last season squared off in a one
game playoff for the AL Central title, and the Houston Astros visiting
the St. Louis Cardinals, opponents in both the ’04 and ’05 NLCS.
This season features a new on-air time and new-look pregame and
postgame shows. The pregame originates live from one of the regional
games on the FOX SATURDAY GAME OF THE WEEK schedule and is hosted by
the versatile Chris Rose. In addition to his wide-ranging work on FSN,
Rose has served as pregame, halftime and postgame host for FOX Sports’
Bowl Championship Series coverage and has filled in as a co-host of
FOX NFL SUNDAY. In his new role with MLB on FOX, Rose brings fans late-
breaking baseball news and notes and sets the scene for the day’s MLB
action. Once the game begins, Rose joins the FOX broadcast team on
location, serving as a field reporter. This season, FOX Sports’ new
broadcast window begins at 4:00 PM ET, with the exception of three
weeks when FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK directly precedes
NASCAR on FOX race coverage. On those Saturdays, MLB on FOX goes on-
air at 3:30 PM ET. (see the schedule above.)
Returning as the MLB on FOX’s lead broadcast team for the 14th
straight season are six-time Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer
Joe Buck and two-time World Series Champion and three-time Emmy Award-
winning analyst Tim McCarver. Joining them for the fourth consecutive
year as field reporter is Ken Rosenthal. Former Cubs and Diamondbacks
first baseman Mark Grace teams with play-by-play announcer Thom
Brennaman, while Kenny Albert joins analyst and LA Dodgers all-time
home run leader Eric Karros in the booth to comprise MLB on FOX’s
other two stellar broadcast teams.
Following the lead of NASCAR on FOX, MLB on FOX has joined Twitter
Nation. This season, fans can use Twitter, the free social networking
phenomenon, to stay connected to MLB on FOX coverage, including FOX’s
MLB broadcasters and reporters, throughout the week including game
days. Fans can look forward to receiving the latest programming
information; alerts to original video and columns generated
exclusively for FOXSports.com; opinions and firsthand observations
from Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, Ken Rosenthal and all MLB on FOX
announcers, analysts and reporters as they supply “tweets” during
broadcasts and throughout the week. Thousands of NASCAR fans are
following the www.twitter.com/NASACARONFOX site, making it the No. 1
NASCAR site on Twitter. Baseball fans can enhance their season long
MLB on FOX experience by signing up to follow at www.twitter.com/MLBONFOX.
Continuing FOX Sports’ year-round charitable initiative, FOX Sports
Supports has selected to highlight The Michael J. Fox Foundation for
Parkinson’s Research during the 2009 MLB on FOX season. The MJFF is
dedicated to ensuring the development of a cure for Parkinson’s
disease within the decade through an aggressively funded research
agenda. Since its founding, the MJFF has emerged as the largest
private funder of Parkinson’s research worldwide. Each week, MLB on
FOX announcers wear the charity’s pin on-air to champion the cause and
refer to the organization, its achievements and how viewers can
support the foundation during game broadcasts. Also, a FOX-produced
public service announcement featuring Michael J. Fox, Joe Buck and Tim
McCarver airs during telecasts to inform, educate and solicit support
for the charity. Please visit www.foxsportssupports.com for more
information.
FOX Sports airs 26 consecutive weeks of regular season coverage, the
80th All-Star Game from St. Louis, the American League Championship
Series and the 104th World Series. FOX’s national broadcast audience
gets its first look at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday, April 18
when the Bronx Bombers take on the Cleveland Indians in just the third
regular season game ever played in the new facility. The following
week, Saturday, April 25, FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK
showcases the first of three matchups featuring one of sports’ most
storied rivalries when the Yankees travel to Boston to square off with
the Red Sox. The FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK’s inaugural
visit to the new Citi Field takes place Saturday, June 20 when the New
York Mets host the reigning American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays
for a key interleague contest. The All-Star Game and all regular and
postseason games are broadcast in HD.
