- First Sunday Night Baseball Doubleheader to Feature Sunday From The Seats
- Locations: Busch Stadium, PNC Park, AT&T Park, Wrigley Field
ESPN’s Sunday From The Seats – a production initiative in which ESPN’s MLB teams call games from a unique location inside the ballpark – will return for four Sunday Night Baseball telecasts this June. The first edition of Sunday From The Seats is June 5, as the St. Louis Cardinals host the National League West-leading San Francisco Giants on Sunday Night Baseball presented by Taco Bell at 8 p.m. ET.
The voice of Sunday Night Baseball, Dan Shulman, and analyst Aaron Boone will be located in the centerfield stands at Busch Stadium. ESPN MLB reporter Buster Olney will be providing updates from the field. Regular Sunday Night Baseball analyst Jessica Mendoza will be on-assignment at the Women’s College World Series on June 5.
Sunday From The Seats will continue for ESPN’s first Sunday Night Baseball doubleheader on June 12. In the early game, the Pittsburgh Pirates will host the Cardinals at 5 p.m. ESPN MLB play-by-play commentator Dave Flemming and analysts Dallas Braden and Eduardo Pérez will call the matchup from atop the Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park. Shulman, Boone and Mendoza will call the nightcap between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants beginning at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN from directly above the right field wall at AT&T Park – in line with any homeruns towards San Francisco Bay.
The 2016 Sunday From The Seats initiative will conclude with a special telecast from Wrigley Field when the Pirates visit the current NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs on June 19. Shulman, Boone and Mendoza will be located in the right field bleachers to call the telecast beginning at 8 p.m.
All Sunday Night Baseball telecasts, including the June 12 doubleheader, are full national and available on ESPN, WatchESPN, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Deportes Radio.
