ESPN announced on Thursday that it will go with a two-man announcing booth on “Sunday Night Baseball,” featuring returning play-by-play man Matt Vasgersian and analyst Alex Rodriguez. Their first spring training appearance will be for a March 3 Red Sox-Yankees game.
The two had worked Sunday nights the previous two seasons alongside Jessica Mendoza, who recently was re-assigned by the network.
Buster Olney will return for his 10th season as the sideline reporter for the telecast. Mendoza will work in a variety of roles for ESPN, including as an analyst for weeknight games.
Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, returned in 1985 after a detour to Alaska and has been here since, specializing in high schools, college basketball, the NFL and most recently sports media and business.
