You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Major League Baseball on ESPN Radio''''' is the brand name for exclusive play-by-play broadcast presentation of [[Major League Baseball]] on [[ESPN Radio]]. The coverage has most recently been presented by [[Indeed]], along with [[AutoZone]] for the postseason; previous presenting sponsors included [[Wendy's]], [[Barbasol]], [[Nesquik]], [[DraftKings]], [[Xerox]], [[AutoZone]], [[Excedrin]], [[United States Postal Service]] and [[Mercedes-Benz]].

==History==
In 1997, [[ESPN Radio]] outbid [[Major League Baseball on CBS Radio|CBS Radio]] to become the exclusive national radio broadcaster of [[Major League Baseball]] beginning the following year. CBS Radio had been the national radio broadcaster since 1976.

The agreement lasted seven years through 2004 and gave ESPN Radio the rights to broadcast numerous games including ''[[Sunday Night Baseball]]'', Saturday ''[[Major League Baseball Game of the Week|Game of the Week]]'', [[Opening Day]] and holiday games, September weekday pennant race games, the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] and [[Home Run Derby]], and all of the playoffs, including the [[World Series]].

In 2004, ESPN Radio extended the deal with a five-year, [[United States dollar|$]]55&nbsp;million dollar contract extension through the 2010 season.

The agreement also added a weekly program devoted to baseball, which became ''The Baseball Show'' from 3 p.m. [[North American Eastern Time Zone|ET]] to 7&nbsp;pm. ET on Sundays during the regular season. The program was hosted by [[John Seibel]] and [[Steve Phillips]].

===Coverage overview===
As previously mentioned, in beginning in the 1998 season, ESPN Radio took over from [[Major League Baseball on CBS Radio|CBS Radio]] as the official, national radio broadcaster for [[Major League Baseball]]. The network's contract with MLB currently runs through 2028, and as of 2022, ''Major League Baseball on ESPN Radio'' is part of ESPN Radio’s main lineup, instead of in an opt-in/opt-out basis as in previous years. However, affiliates retain the ability to opt out of broadcasts involving in-market teams during the regular season.

The games include Opening Day, ''[[Sunday Night Baseball]]'', Saturday games (usually the same matchup as the Sunday Night game with case-by-case exceptions, mainly due to start time conflicts), holiday games (during [[Memorial Day]], [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]] and [[Labor Day]]; occasionally broadcast as doubleheaders) and September pennant race games. ESPN Radio holds exclusive radio rights to the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] and [[Home Run Derby]]. The postseason (including the [[Major League Baseball Wild Card Game|Wild Card Game]]s, [[Division Series]], [[League Championship Series]] and [[World Series]]) is a semi-exclusive arrangement. The participating teams' flagship stations are allowed to air play-by-play using their own announcers and production. The national ESPN Radio feed may, however, be carried live on another station in those markets as well (for instance, [[WHB]] in [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] aired the ESPN feed of [[Kansas City Royals]] postseason games in 2014 and 2015, competing directly with the Royals Radio Network broadcast on [[KCSP (AM)|KCSP]]). If affiliate stations on the teams' radio networks wish to carry coverage of postseason games they must use the national feed. Since the inaugural [[World Baseball Classic]] in March 2006, the semi-finals and the championship have also been broadcast as part of ''Major League Baseball on ESPN Radio''. The network also broadcast the ''[[MLB at Field of Dreams]]'' game in 2021.

In addition to affiliate stations on AM/FM radio, ESPN Radio's game broadcasts are carried as part of [[Sirius XM Radio]]'s MLB coverage (with Sunday night games also being simulcast on [[MLB Network Radio]]). However, they are not included in the subscription "Gameday Audio" package on [[MLB.com]] with the exception of the All-Star Game, for which no other radio play-by-play feed is available.

Since June 2011, the games can also be heard online at ESPN Radio.com and on mobile devices via the ESPN app and other applications such as [[TuneIn]]. They can also be heard on televisions using connected devices (such as video game consoles) via their respective [[iHeartRadio]] and TuneIn apps. Previously, rights restrictions prevented ESPN Radio.com from live-streaming the games. Despite MLB not enforcing blackouts for radio coverage, game coverage on the ESPN mobile app and TuneIn are restricted to listeners in the United States and that are located outside the markets of both teams involved in that broadcast, regardless if said teams are home or away.

===Broadcasters===
((see also|List of Major League Baseball on ESPN Radio broadcasters))

As of 2022, the primary ESPN Radio crew for ''Sunday Night Baseball'' consists of [[play-by-play]] announcer [[Jon Sciambi]] and [[color analyst]] [[Doug Glanville]]. In 2010, Sciambi succeeded [[Gary Thorne]], who had called play-by-play in 2008–09; Thorne had succeeded [[Dan Shulman]], did so from 2002 to 2007; Shulman, in turn, had been preceded by [[Charley Steiner]] from 1998 to 2002. Glanville succeeded [[Chris Singleton (baseball)|Chris Singleton]], who served as analyst from 2011-2021. Singleton, in turn, succeeded [[Dave Campbell (infielder)|Dave Campbell]], who was an analyst from 1999 to 2010. Campbell replaced [[Kevin Kennedy (baseball)|Kevin Kennedy]] as analyst in 1999, after the latter had worked with Steiner in the network's inaugural season of coverage. [[Marc Kestecher]] currently serves as the network's primary ''[[Baseball Tonight]]'' studio host, with Jim Basquil or Kevin Winter substituting for him if Kestecher was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts (mainly with his ''[[NBA on ESPN Radio]]'' play-by-play duties); he was preceded by [[Joe D'Ambrosio]] from 1998 to 2007. 

For other regular season games (especially Saturday games) as well as select Sunday night games, different play-by-play announcers are used with Glanville remaining as analyst (or, if Ganville is unavailable, a substitute analyst). This is mainly due to Sciambi’s unavailability as he is also the play-by-play announcer for [[Chicago Cubs]] games televised on the [[Marquee Sports Network]]. Backup play-by-play announcers for ''MLB on ESPN Radio'' included [[John Schriffen]], [[Karl Ravech]], Mike Couzens, and [[Roxy Bernstein]] among others.

Sciambi and Glanville also call the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] and Home Run Derby each year.

As of 2018, Dan Shulman called the [[World Series]] and one of the two [[League Championship Series]] with Singleton each year ([[Jessica Mendoza]] joined this crew in 2020, while [[Eduardo Pérez]] joined in 2021, in place of Singleton, who was co-hosting the pregame and postgame segments with Kevin Winter), while Sciambi calls the other LCS with Mendoza. Various other announcers work the network's secondary regular-season, [[Major League Baseball wild-card game|Wild Card Game]] and [[Division Series]] broadcasts as needed. Starting in the 2023 season, Sciambi will also call the World Series and a League Championship Series, succeeding Shulman in those roles.

For the 2020 season, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], Sciambi and Singleton called each game [[remote work|working remotely]], rather than at the ballpark. For the 2020 postseason, they and all of ESPN Radio's announcers called the games from the ESPN studios in Bristol, Connecticut.
