FOX Sports books its All-Star plans

With FOX Sports at the plate for its 15th MLB All-Star Game since 1997, the company added more details to yesterday’s tech blueprints for the game, lining up more than 25 hours of coverage of the Mid-Summer Classic across FOX, FOX Sports Regional Networks, FOX Deportes, FOXSports.com, FOX Sports GO and FOX Sports Radio. Joe Buck provides play-by-play for a record 16th All-Star Game, alongside analysts Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci, both calling their first. Ken Rosenthal and Erin Andrews will be on-hand to offer reports from the field. Game day coverage begins Tuesday, July 15 at 4:30p on FOX Sports 1 with a special three-hour edition of America’s Pregame before shifting to the broadcast network at 7:30p. The 2014 MLB All-Star Game streams online for the first time on FOX Sports GO.

FOX Sports 1 is also in line to run two classic All-Star games starting tomorrow at 7p: the 1999 game in Boston, noted for its salute to Hall of Famer Ted Williams and Pedro Martinez’s record-setting MVP performance; and the 2001 game played in Seattle which saw Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. homer and take home MVP honors in his All-Star farewell. The two specials, dubbed All-Star Glory, feature commentary from FOX Sports anchor Ryan Field and former MLB outfielder Luis Gonzalez.
