Morgan was ESPN&#8217;s first Sunday Night Baseball analyst and alongside Jon Miller, comprised one of sports broadcasting&#8217;s longest-tenured and highest-profile teams. The duo called Sunday Night Baseball from 1990 through 2010. ESPN Front Row paid tribute to Morgan in October: ESPN Remembers Joe Morgan. Rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrating Diane Lamb<\/p>\n<p>ESPN celebrates the career of Diane Lamb, ESPN Communications Vice President, who retires in January after 36 years in the department. Lamb, who has led countless high-profile public relations initiatives for ESPN during her nearly four-decade career, was one of the first women to serve as a publicist in the Baseball industry. She led Sunday Night Baseball publicity for the better part of two decades during the 1990s and 2000s. We applaud her leadership and we are grateful for the roads she paved during her career.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday Night Baseball launch<\/p>\n<p>ESPN&#8217;s Sunday Night Baseball franchise made its debut on April 15, 1990, as the Montreal Expos hosted the New York Mets from Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Expos won the game 3-1 behind pitcher Zane Smith&#8217;s winning performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESPN&#8217;s Sunday Night Baseball Schedule for First Half of 2021 Features Baseball&#8217;s Biggest Superstars \u00b7 Ronald Acu\u00f1a, Jr., Pete Alonso, Cody Bellinger, Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Mike Trout, Fernando Tat\u00eds, Jr., in Action \u00b7 Reigning League M.V.P.s Jos\u00e9 Abreu and Freddie Freeman Take the Field \u00b7 San Diego Padres [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv_news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ESPN&#039;s &quot;Sunday Night Baseball&quot;
