Sports conversations are as much about the past as they are the future, especially for baseball. Even without live sports on the horizon, there’s still an endless vault of unique content for fans to consume.
Beginning Wednesday April 1, SiriusXM will air two different classic baseball games each night. The first re-broadcast will air at 8pm ET, with the second at 11pm ET, offering selected games dating all the way back to the 1930s! Some of the greatest voices in baseball history will be featured, including Mel Allen, Red Barber, Jack Buck, Harry Carey, Curt Gowdy, Ernie Harwell, Bob Prince and Vin Scully.
All broadcasts can be heard on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio and will also be available on-demand via the SiriusXM app until baseball returns for its 2020 season. For older fans, it’s an opportunity to relive some of the greatest games in Major League Baseball, while younger fans will get the chance to experience those historic moments for the first time.
