At least
two 2017 'early season' Red Sox home games will be televised nationally on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. Both the
April 30th game against the World Series Champion Cubs and the
July 16th game against
The Evil Ones will be broadcast by
'The World Wide Leader'. Both telecasts will be start at 8:05 PM Eastern time. Returning to the broadcast will be play-by-play man
Dan Shulman (his seventh season)—along with analysts
Aaron Boone,
Jessica Mendoza and
Buster Olney. Not surprisingly, the Cubbies will make five appearances in this 'early-season' window.
Also not surprisingly,
The Bronx Embalmers will make four appearances during this period. This will be the 28th season for
Sunday Night Baseball.
