2007 playoffs
On January 28, 2007, TBS' executive producer Jeff Behnke[9] said that Chip Caray "is definitely going to be TBS' lead play-by-play announcer for division series and LCS games."[10] Indeed, TBS announced in April 2007 that Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who has experience in broadcasting with ESPN and the San Diego Padres, would join Caray in the booth.[11]
Veteran Braves play-by-play man Skip Caray, Chip's father was vocal about not being part of the coverage in comments he made to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[12]
TBS' studio team was Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson, Jr. along with the other member of the 2007 Baseball Hall of Fame class, Cal Ripken, Jr.[11] On September 24, it was announced that the studio show would also include Frank Thomas, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays during the season. Thomas and other active players such as Curtis Granderson and John Smoltz made guest appearances during the playoffs. The studio coverage is titled Inside MLB.
