Bally Sports is bringing back a special “players only” booth for the game against the Chicago Cubs next Wednesday. This time, Jeff Francoeur, Tom Glavine, Chipper Jones, and retired catcher Brian McCann will be on the mic. While McCann doesn’t have formal broadcasting experience, he has made special guest appearances in the booth before. The dynamic of having four analysts without a play-by-play man created a unique and exciting atmosphere during previous broadcasts.
Last season, Bally Sports introduced the “Legends Booth,” featuring former players Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Chipper Jones, and Jeff Francoeur calling a thrilling victory over the New York Mets. The first iteration of the alternate broadcast was memorable for fans as it featured an intense matchup where the Braves ultimately walked off against the Mets in extra innings. With 23 total runs, nine home runs, four lead changes, and twelve pitchers taking the ball, it was an unforgettable game that solidified the appeal of the “Legends Booth.”
Now, fans eagerly anticipate this upcoming game against the Chicago Cubs set for 7:20 PM ET. With Francoeur leading the play-by-play once again and unique home run calls in store, this special broadcast promises to provide Braves fans with a one-of-a-kind viewing experience. With merchandise and memorable moments sure to follow, Bally Sports continues to cater to the love and passion of Atlanta Braves fans.
