This Week in Baseball Returns with Digital Twist

It's April 1st.

Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch.

Majorly baseball is reviving the classic show This Week in Baseball, with a fresh digital

spin.

It'll drop every Friday at noon on MLB's ex-account and ex- originals, running all the way through

the postseason.

The original kicked off back in 1977 as a 30-minute weekly roundup of the biggest plays and

moments from around the league.

For years, the late Hall of Fame voice Mel Allen hosted it, making it a staple until

it wrapped in 1998, then returned for another.

Run from 2000 to 2011.

These new episodes clock in at just 5-10 minutes, cooked up by MLB Studios with all the fan

favorite bits, like highlights, funny bloopers, player spotlights, and those quick TWIB notes.

Kate Manescalco steps in as host, bringing that nostalgic vibe into the fast-grow world

of social media, so baseball heads can get their weekly fix, without missing a beat.
