Former MLB pitcher David Cone to serve as Sunday Night Baseball analyst; Alex Rodriguez to lead simulcast version

Five-time World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner David Cone is joining the announcing booth for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, which will also feature a secondary broadcast led by Alex Rodriguez, the network announced Friday.

Cone will serve as an analyst alongside Karl Ravech, who will be become the fourth-ever play-by-play announcer for Sunday Night Baseball. Eduardo Perez will also serve as an analyst for the ESPN broadcasts.

For eight games on ESPN2, Rodriguez will join veteran commentator Michael Kay for Sunday Night Baseball with Kay-Rod -- a broadcast similar to the ManningCasts that featured former quarterback Peyton and Eli Manning during Monday Night Football this season.
