When they're not tuning in to the games themselves, baseball fans know where to turn for their nightly baseball fix. MLB Network's signature program, "MLB Tonight" presents complete coverage of all of the games, beginning with the first pitch on the East Coast and ending with the final out on the West Coast. The Emmy-winning studio show features highlights, live look-ins and breaking news, plus analysis from a rotating roster that includes former players Eric Byrnes, Al Leiter, Dan Plesac, Billy Ripken and Mike Lowell, and inside information men Tom Verducci, Jon Heyman, Peter Gammons and Ken Rosenthal. Greg Amsinger, Brian Kenny and Matt Vasgersian are among the hosts.

Hosted by Brian Kenny, "Top 10 Right Now" presents plenty of fodder for baseball fans to chew on when discussing the best current players, and as the title suggests, the series counts down MLB Network's version of who those players are, with each episode detailing a different position. There's also an episode that lists the game's top managers.

MLB Network counts down its version of the 20 greatest games played since about 1950. The network first came up with 50 games and a "blue ribbon panel" -- aided by fan votes -- whittled that to 20. Hosts Bob Costas and Tom Verducci dissect each game, and given the format, with each episode running at least one hour, there's plenty of time to delve into nuances such as pitch selection, defensive alignment, managerial moves and so on. Also making each episode must-see TV for longtime baseball fans is the ex-players and managers who join Costas and Verducci to provide insight. Bucky Dent, for example, talks about his famous home run in the 1978 American League tiebreak game, and Johnny Bench and Fred Lynn reminisce about Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, the No. 1 game on the list.

Baseball fans who live for the excitement of the game may find it impossible to keep up with all the great plays when there's a dozen contests going on simultaneously. This signature studio show of MLB Network provides an easy solution to that dilemma. In-studio hosts provide running analysis of all games currently in progress, from the first pitch on the East Coast to the final out in the Pacific Time Zone. If a Cy Young Award candidate is three outs away from tossing a no-hitter, or a Triple Crown candidate steps to the plate in a bases-loaded situation, rest assured of a quick cutaway to the on-field action.

MLB Network's first-ever talk show features some talk and a lot of banter each weekday for hosts Chris Rose and Kevin Millar, who discuss between themselves and with others associated with baseball what's hot and what's not in and around the national pastime. They also run out of the baseline at times when they welcome guests from the worlds of entertainment and pop culture. Rose is well known for batting topics around as the longtime host of Fox Sports' wacky "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," while Millar gained fame as a member of the 2004 world champion Boston Red Sox.

MLB Network's first-ever regular-season morning show features hosts Robert Flores, Mark DeRosa and Lauren Shehadi reporting from Studio 21, named in honor of Hall of Famer and humanitarian Roberto Clemente. Updates and context on the latest news, extensive on-field highlights, and long-form conversations with guests, celebrities and insiders from around baseball are presented each weekday morning. Flores joined the network in 2016 as a host/reporter, DeRosa offers a unique outlook as a former player, and Shehadi honed crisp interviewing skills during three years of hosting MLB Network's "The Rundown."

The history of baseball has always involved numbers, from the amount of wins and losses recorded by teams to the batting average of the game's greatest hitters and the iconic digits sewn on their uniforms. This show uses numbers in a different manner, recalling various topics from the annals of the sport (both the grandiose and the sometimes embarrassing) and then counting down the best examples within the category. Subjects under scrutiny include the best fan moments, top ejections, best season finishes, biggest blunders and longest home runs.

The title says it all, as any good title should. "The Rundown" presents a jump-start to all that's happening each weeknight in Major League Baseball, including highlights, live look-ins to games in progress, and access to batting practice. There's also team reports, injury updates and the latest news regarding roster moves. Matt Yallof and Lauren Shehadi host.

Fun-loving former baseball player Kevin Millar was one of the many memorable "idiots" who helped break the Curse of the Bambino and lead the Boston Red Sox to a World Series championship in 2004. Sportscaster Chris Rose made his mark as the long-running host of Fox Sports Net's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period." This series brings these two opinionated personalities together to cover the hottest topics in Major League Baseball, present up-to-the-minute headlines, and conduct interviews with the biggest stars in the game.

Emanating from Studio 42 -- named in honor of Jackie Robinson -- in MLB Network's Secaucus, N.J., headquarters, this series features the Hall of Fame-worthy interview skills of Bob Costas talking baseball with the legends of the game, Hall of Famers in their own right. Guests including Willie Mays, Bob Feller, Hank Aaron, George Brett, Reggie Jackson and Cal Ripken Jr. have graced the replica baseball field-designed studio set, reminiscing with Costas about their days on the diamond while also discussing current events and issues surrounding the game. Costas has also spent time on the show with broadcasters Al Michaels and Ernie Harwell, entertainer and big-time baseball fan Billy Crystal, and fronted episodes discussing baseball in Cuba and the state of umpiring.
