HRN Media Networks is launching a new daily show hosted by former major league baseball player Carlos Baerga. The 90-second feature, "Are You Ready to Play Ball with Carlos Baerga and Legends from Yesterday and Today," includes baseball analytics and interviews with elite players. Baerga has played for several MLB teams and is best-known for his eight seasons as shortstop for the Cleveland Indians. He was named to the All-Star team three times and awarded two Silver Slugger awards during his tenure with the Indians.

"Carlos is an energetic and dynamic sports figure, who will entertain listeners," stated HRN Media Networks President Clark Logan. "Baseball is the most popular American sport among Hispanics, and Carlos's insights about the game and the top-name players that will join him will engage sports fans."

"I am excited to launch my Hispanic radio career with the HRN Network and talk about my favorite topic... baseball," commented Baerga. "Listeners will get behind-the-scenes stories from the elite players we're going to have on as guests. I can't wait to get started."

"HRN Network is known across the Hispanic radio community for its quality programming," said Game On Media Solutions Managing Partner Chuck Bortnick. "Carlos was very impressed with Clark, Jimmy and the entire HRN team. GOMS is very excited and pleased that we can begin developing Carlos's audio brand with HRN."
