[braves guru]

TBS will have two Hall of Famers in its Atlanta studio for Sunday's Major League Baseball All-Star Selection Show. Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., both elected to Cooperstown this year, will join host Ernie Johnson Jr. on the show, which will unveil the starters, reserves and pitchers for the July 10 All-Star Game in San Francisco. The show marks the start of TBS' new broadcast deal with MLB – a deal that will put postseason games on the Atlanta-based national cable channel for the first time. The show also marks the debut of Gwynn and Ripken in their new gigs on TBS – gigs that will include analyst roles on postseason telecasts.
