In honor of its 30 years of giving us a sports-centric news show, ESPN is having its three longest-serving SportsCenter anchors join up on Sept. 6 for a special edition of SportsCenter.
Can you guess who they are? Wait for it, fill in your ballots ...
Chris Berman, Bob Ley and John Saunders. It will be a 90-minute show and besides the usual news will also have a segment looking back over 30 years of Berman, Ley and Saunders. We can probably expect some bad-looking suits, haircuts and nicknames to be showcased.
The show will first air at 8:30 p.m. PDT on Sept. 6 and will be rebroadcast several times over the next two days.
And can you guess which of the three was hired first by ESPN? Wait for it, fill in your ballots ...
Ley was hired Sept. 7, 1979. Berman was hired in October. Saunders is a relative newcomer, having arrived in 1986.
