Dodgers.com: DodgersWIN broadcast to debut on May 20

The Los Angeles Dodgers will debut their DodgersWIN broadcast on May 20, with former FOX baseball anchor Jeanne Zelasko handling the play-by-play duties alongside former Dodger Mark Sweeney, who will serve as the analyst. The program, believed to be the first of its kind in Major League Baseball, will continue for each Wednesday home game for the remainder of the season, with the live audio feed available for free at www.dodgers.com/win.

DodgersWIN (Women’s Initiatives Network) is a network of initiatives to bring women closer to the game and to bring the game closer to their lifestyles. The program, created by Dodger Chief Executive Officer Jamie McCourt, is a fundamental component of the Dodgers’ active participation in the community.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeanne to the Dodger family,” said McCourt. “Her track record and knowledge of the game speaks for itself, and as a mother, she’ll be able to bring a unique perspective to our WIN broadcasts and help spread her love of baseball to fans around the world.”

Zelasko is a versatile journalist who has garnered a broad array of experience during her career. Most notably, from May 2001 until October 2008, she hosted the Emmy Award-winning FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the Week pre-game show. In addition to covering numerous All-Star Games and World Series for the network, she has also served as an assignment reporter for the network, covering a variety of sports including the NFL, NHL, college basketball, and auto racing.

I can certainly see how women wouldn't relate to the aggressive, bombastic style of Vin Scully.

I'm confused. What does this say about Mark Sweeney's gender?

“Her track record and knowledge of the game speaks for itself, and as a mother, she’ll be able to bring a unique perspective to our WIN broadcasts and help spread her love of baseball to fans around the world.”

I'm interested in the different perspectives a mother brings to baseball. "Juan Pierre always cleans his room"? Jonathan Broxton washes the dishes without being asked"?

[2] He hits like a woman. That's good enough.

Zelasko is currently broadcasting her weekly Dodgers report right now.

...Wow, she does suck.
