Baseball Sunday

Baseball Sunday

"Baseball Sunday" was the name of a 1980s era nationally syndicated radio program. "Baseball Sunday" was a precursor of sorts to ESPN's "Baseball Tonight", which debuted in 1990.

Format

The basic format of "Baseball Sunday" involved a round table chat about the goings on in Major League Baseball at the time. The hosts would also take calls from the listeners. Radio highlights from that particular Sunday's Major League Baseball action would be mixed in for good measure.

Hosts

The initial host of "Baseball Sunday" was Kevin Harlan, who was joined by regulars Bill James [ [http://books.google.com/books?id=F3QQbDSdmg4C&pg=PA107&lpg=PA107&dq=%22baseball+sunday%22+bill+james&source=web&ots=1LlsKEfNXD&sig=nwJgGWMJDSJNqhdp8rZDQEfiSfk For the next seven years The Bill James Baseball Abstract was published ... and co-hosts a nationally-syndicated radio program called "Baseball Sunday. ...] ] and Hal Bodley (of "USA Today").

I think this is the same show that had Bill James on it last year. It's a call-in show and I thought it was well done.] ] [ [http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:DTGtfhwJvq0J:www.zoominfo.com/people/Hackett_D._165600724.aspx+%22Baseball+Sunday%22+Joe+Garagiola&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us Douglas S.
