After a whirlwind off-season, FOX Sports continues an American tradition that dates back over 50 years with the SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK.

This season, for the first time ever, all MLB on FOX games are being produced and broadcast in state-of-the-art high definition, including what is sure to be an evening to remember, FOX Sports’ presentation of the 79th All-Star Game, live from historic Yankee Stadium, Tuesday, July 15 (7:00 PM).  The 85-year old "House That Ruth Built," home to some of baseball’s most unforgettable moments and achievements, is in its final season as the home of the Bronx Bombers.

The 2008 season is FOX Sports' 13th straight as the primary national broadcast television home of Major League Baseball. In that time, FOX Sports has aired 10 World Series ('96, '98, '00-07), 18 League Championship Series and nine All-Star Games ('97, '99, '01-07).

The 2008 FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK schedule presently features 21 different teams playing in as many as 71 games. Each Saturday features up to three regionalized games beginning at 2:30 PM. The final two Saturdays of the regular season are designated as "wild card" dates, allowing FOX Sports to choose up to three games of significance on each date.

Interleague play on FOX begins on Saturday, May 17, when the Dodgers play the Angels, the upstart Brewers travel to Boston to battle the Red Sox and the battle of Ohio resumes when the Indians take on the Reds. On Saturday, June 21, two of the oldest franchises in baseball face-off when the Cardinals visit the Red Sox in a re-match of the 2004 World Series. Interleague play continues Saturday, June 28, when the Yankees visit the Mets at Shea Stadium, also in its final season, while the Cubs head to Chicago's South Side to take on the rival White Sox.

This year's schedule also features baseball's most storied National League rivalry as the Cardinals battle the Cubs three times (5/3, 7/5, 8/9).

After the network's regular-season coverage, FOX Sports provides exclusive live coverage of this year's National League Championship Series and the 104th World Series.
