1. Fox loves its rules expert, Mike Pereira. Major League Baseball, not so much.
Pereira, who works NFL and college football games, would've added a third sport to his résumé if Fox had its way. However, then MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre put the kibosh on the idea.
On a recent episode of the Papa and Lund podcast, Pereira revealed that years ago he was set to become an on-air rules expert for Fox's MLB games, but Torre wouldn't allow it.
"Not too long after I started, maybe three or four years after I started, the sport that was missing this role was baseball," Pereira said.
