Hadji loves to help daddy with his jigsaw puzzle. My second puzzle. Been on it for 2 weeks. Sorry I'm tardy revealing. BTW, Gary, Ron & I are broadcasting our second simulated Mets game Tues. at 7pm w/special guest, Jeff McNeil. Watch it on SNY's Twitter, FB & UTube channels.

Just got this release:

ESPN today announced it has reached an agreement with Eclat Media Group regarding the KBO League – South Korea's most popular sports league – to exclusively televise six, live regular-season games per week in the U.S. starting with Opening Day – NC Dinos vs. Samsung Lions – on Tuesday, May 5, at 1 a.m. ET / Monday, May 4, at 10 p.m. PT. One game will air each day, Tuesday through Sunday, generally on ESPN2 and on the ESPN App. The telecasts will air Tuesdays-Fridays at 5:30 a.m. ET, Saturdays at 4 a.m. ET and Sundays at 1 a.m. ET. The Lions vs. Dinos Opening Day telecast will air on ESPN, following SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. As part of the agreement, ESPN will become the exclusive English-language home for KBO League live games and highlights for the 2020 season. The deal includes the postseason and the Korea Series best-of-seven championship. ESPN's game selections will be made and announced on a week-to-week basis during the season. The telecast schedule and ESPN platform is subject to change pending future live event considerations. Burke Magnus, ESPN executive vice president, programming: “We're thrilled to become the exclusive English-language home to the KBO League and to showcase its compelling action and high-level of competition. We have a longstanding history of documenting the game of baseball and we're excited to deliver these live events to sports fans.” ESPN play-by-play voices, analysts and reporters will provide commentary in English, remotely, from their home studios. ESPN baseball commentators contributing to KBO League coverage include Karl Ravech, Jon Sciambi, Eduardo Perez, Jessica Mendoza and Kyle Peterson. The team of Ravech and Perez will call the Lions vs. Dinos season-opener, as well as the May 6 and May 7 games.

This reminds me of the 1978 newspaper strike when the Philadelphia Inquirer suddenly began showing up in New York and you were damn glad to pick up anything that resembled what you were used to.

After the two NL teams left New York, some of their games when they played in Philadelphia were telecast back to New York on Channel 13 (before it was a public broadcast station).

And SF day games were recreated on New York radio (WOR or WABC?) with Les Keiter as the "announcer".

"MLB fans tuning in may recognize some familiar faces; as we covered

here two weeks back, there are more than 30 former big league players

slated to play in the KBO this season. The Dinos (Aaron Altherr, Mike

Wright, Drew Rucinski) and Lions (Seunghwan Oh, Tyler Saladino, Ben

Lively, David Buchanan) have seven such players. There are some

well-known names in the coaching ranks, too — Matt Williams will

manage the KIA Tigers this year, and Julio Franco is the hitting coach

for the Lotte Giants."

It's on! It's on! It's on... a rain delay!



But, hey, Karl Ravech and Eduardo Perez at home, looking vaguely disoriented!

BTW, Game Three of the ‘69 WS is presently on SNY in living color.

[kcmets]

I have a VHS of this game that I bought on eBay a long time ago that is

just awful. I think someone had a tape of it from wherever and recorded

tapes of it on a TV on a crappy video cam and bilked suckers like me.

[kcmets]

Fuck! I didn't DVR Game 4 last night...
