Kids on Deck March 10, 2006 3 comments
The YES Network is a tri-state (ny, conn, nj) area cable channel started as a showcase for the NY Yankees; it caused a stir back in the day, because all of a sudden Yankee fans had to pay to see yankee games. My youngest brother (at 18) Mark, just landed a gig hosting a Kids TV show on YES called “Kids on Deck”. I’m not sure when it starts, I’m assuming mid May because of this old press release, but there’ll be 10 episodes with the possibility of more.
I remember coming across the show in the past, the old host (seen in the photo) looks kinda like Hillary Duff and yes that’s Willie Randolph, still in Yankee garb. These people need to update their site. Mark’s heading to Florida (spring training) this Monday & at some point it’ll bring him to San Diego & the All Star game as well. Congrats to broseph on the gig, he’s pretty excited, him being a baseball (Met) fanatic for quite some time. Tell A-Rod & Jeter I still don’t like them.
So if you live in the east, or get DirecTV, watch for him hammin’ it up w/future hall of famers. I’m gonna try to get him to blog about the experience too, we’ll see what happens.
