Major moves by MLB and remembering Phil Rizzuto

As the 2019 Major League Baseball season gets underway, word is MLB is reducing the television package it has with Facebook and removing the "exclusivity" tag. That is among the topics I talk
about in the latest edition of The Baseball Beat. Other items we discuss:

| Phil Rizzuto/Credit: You Tube capture |
- MLB is considering buying the Fox regional sports networks
- Payroll is lower than a season ago
- MLB continues to use the minor leagues as an incubator for rules changes
And I look back at the time former New York Yankees shortstop great and broadcaster Phil Rizzuto visited my hometown of Torrington, CT. Rizzuto's visit and talk that night - which you hear on the podcast - was a special night in the history of sports in the city.
Enjoy!
