Exciting times for MLB fans.  Major League Baseball will be launching the MLB Network on January 1st across cable networks. Here is a little of what you can expect.

On paper, the MLB Network looks like nirvana for hard-core fans. The net’s flagship show, “MLB Tonight,” will air every day except Sunday during the regular season from 6 p.m. Eastern time until a half hour after the evening’s final game has concluded. It will broadcast a game every Thursday night and cover any number of events in and around the game. Additionally, the network will tap the league’s trove of historical footage for documentaries and series such as “Prime 9,” a countdown show devoted to the game’s best moments and performers (center fielders, dramatic home runs, etc.).

Sounds great.  Looking forward to MLB 24-7 365 days a year.
