In an attempt to bring a new look to previous broadcasts, New England Sports Network has recruited some former local athletes to provide a new layer of commentary for classic contests.
NESN has lined up a series of former players to take over its telecasts of classic Red Sox’ and Bruins’ games on Twitter to provide real-time commentary, answer fan questions, and provide on-screen insight.
NESN already has had Shane Victorino tweet his way through a rebroadcast of a 2013 World Series game. This week, they’ll have three ex-Bruins taking part in a Twitter takeover during some classic reruns.
