Many viewers who tuned in for Thursday night's Major League Baseball game between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves were surprised to see who was in the ESPN broadcast booth.
Karl Ravech had the play-by-play duties alongside color commentator Eduardo Pérez.

This comes just over a week after Ravech was reportedly part of the layoffs at ESPN. Ravech has been an ESPN anchor, play-by-play announcer, and a huge part of the Worldwide Leader's baseball coverage for 33 years. He learned he was being laid off by a reporter, a tactic that former SportsCenter anchor Dan Patrick called out.
