    I just got this via a MLB Network press release –

    MLB Network will televise the premiere of Major League Baseball Productions Wired for Baseball on Sunday, September 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Hosted by Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kevin Millar, the show focuses on the behind-the-scene sounds of the game that have been recorded thanks to players wearing wireless microphones. Wired for Baseball takes an inside look at conversations exchanged among players and coaches during Spring Training, All-Star week and the Post Season throughout the past five seasons, including Millar during the 2004 American League Championship Series, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder.

    The show also contains vintage clips of MLB Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Jimmie Fox, Tommy Lasorda, Yogi Berra and Ted Williams as well as footage of Cal Ripken Jr., wearing a wireless microphone during his final All-Star Game in 2001.

    Wired for Baseball will re-air on MLB Network on Wednesday, September 16 at 5:00 p.m. ET and Sunday, September 27 at 11:00 a.m. ET.

    …Millar during the 2004 American League Championship Series…

    Yikes. That could be painful for Yankees fans. But, then again, hearing what Nick Swisher had to say might just be must see TV…

      I watched this, it was really cool and Swish’s piece was by far the most entertaining.

      Didn’t pay attention to the Millar part, he can go f himself.

      Indeed…and so can Ozzie Guillen.

      this show should be similar to that show “The Pen”. I only caught maybe 1 or 2 episodes of that show, but it was pretty entertaining.
