As the 2019 Major League Baseball season gets underway, word is MLB is reducing the television package it has with Facebook and removing the "exclusivity" tag.  That is among the topics I talk Phil Rizzuto/Credit: You Tube capture about in the latest edition of The Baseball Beat.   Other items we discuss: MLB is considering buying the Fox regional sports networks Payroll is lower than a season ago MLB continues to use the minor leagues as an incubator for rules changes And I look back at the time former New York Yankees shortstop great and broadcaster Phil Rizzuto visited my hometown of Torrington, CT.  Rizzuto's visit and talk that night - which you hear on the podcast - was a special night in the history of sports in the city. Enjoy!
