“Sunday Night Baseball,” from the studio show through the game coverage, was so well done it approached art.
ESPN doesn’t always hire the right writers to cover sports; in this case, they did. Stark, Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney were among the writers featured on ESPN who were admired throughout the industry for their honesty, passion and hustle.
They’re nice people, too.
ESPN also employed Peter Gammons, who with the Boston Globe invented modern sports beat writing.
The writers and fans are who I thought of when reading the news that ESPN might not broadcast Major League Baseball games after 2025.
ESPN doesn’t want to pay MLB what it has been paying because it doesn’t cover the sport as intensely as it once did. MLB doesn’t want to accept a reduced rate.
