As early as this week, or probably closer to TigerFest on Jan. 26, the Tigers and Fox Sports Detroit willeil a new baseball play-by-play pilot for the team’s 2019 telecasts.
All sides are keeping this one super-tight. They want this to be a celebratory surprise. They crave suspense. They foresee buzz and excitement when their months of studying game-tapes and talking with contestants for a plum job give way to an introduction that might be called a coronation.
The Tigers and FSD understand all that counts here. Baseball viewers have an amazing relationship with their team’s broadcasters.
