Your MLB announcing schedule for 7/6-7/12
Somehow, in complete anonymity, the Cincinnati Reds have the best record in all of baseball. But, the best story with the Reds might be the head shaving of their Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman. The story is worth the read to see the great cause Brennaman was supporting and what a great sport he was. Maybe his team can get similar exposure for their play on the diamond, too, although their only appearance on the schedule this week is on WGN at Wrigley. Elsewhere the Yanks make their customary multiple appearances while FOX is still on their Olympic hiatus. Finally, ESPN's Sunday night game features the Mets... do you think ESPN thought they were covering a Jets practice instead?
