Additional notes

• Until the 2000 World Series, Bob Brenly, who normally did West Coast games with Thom Brennaman, regularly joined Joe Buck and Tim McCarver in the booth for big events (All-Star Game, potential record-breaking games, one League Championship Series, and the World Series. However, he became the manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who won the World Series under Brenly just a year later. After Brenly was fired by the Diamondbacks in the 2004 season, he briefly returned to Fox until being hired by the Chicago Cubs as their color commentator.
• In 2001, Jeanne Zelasko^[74] became the first woman in more than a decade to regularly host Major League Baseball games for a network. The network canceled the pre-game show (as a cost-cutting measure) following the 2008 season.
• In 2020, play-by-play announcers and color commentators called the games from the Fox Network Center in Los Angeles, CA.
