New York Yankees legends Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are two out of the three star members of a group hosting exclusive MLB shows for FOX Sports during the baseball season. The third member of the group is Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz. The trio are most often found hosting exclusive programs during the postseason, commentating on the games as both pregame and postgame analysts.
On May 20, the 46th annual Sports Emmy Awards were held in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City. FOX Sports’ featured programs and live shows on baseball earned the broadcasting service a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Show (Limited Run). The honors came in the backdrop of outstanding efforts from the baseball legends in hosting the shows throughout the season.
