Bob Costas is making a comeback to baseball broadcasting. After nearly four decades with NBC, he's stepping back into the spotlight as the new host of the Sunday Night Baseball pregame show. This isn't his first rodeo, though. Costas has a legendary career, winning 29 Sports Emmys and covering major events like the Olympics, Super Bowls, and NBA Finals. But baseball? That's where he truly shines.
His journey started in Syracuse, where he kicked off his career with WSYR-TV and radio. From there, he became a household name, known for his storytelling and deep understanding of the game. Costas even has a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, thanks to his incredible contributions to the sport.
Costas isn't new to MLB Network, either. He's been there since its start in 2009, hosting and calling postseason games. But now, he's back at NBC, where he first made his mark. The network is thrilled to have him back, calling him the most knowledgeable and passionate voice in baseball.
Costas' return to NBC is a big deal. He brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the game. His ability to weave stories into the broadcast makes every game more than just a game—it's a chapter in the larger story of baseball. And that's what makes him special.
