How does MLB Network fill time when there's no games to be played?
One way is to run movies, which they do year-round, but the library is a little short on films, especially when they get played into the ground. In most markets, MLB Network is a basic cable channel, not a premium channel like HBO.
Another is with original programming, using MLB's archives to create shows to stir the memories of long time fans.
MLB Network Countdown is one of those shows, and, now in its 8th season, there's enough material to air it like a syndicated show during the off-season if you catch my drift. Various network personalities take turns serving as host. In this case, Hazel Mae, no longer with the network, MC's a countdown of classic ejections of managers, players, and even fans & mascots.
Rating: A.
