Upon re-watching the show as an adult I’ve come to appreciate Mark Scott’s role as a huge factor in my enjoyment. He’s part Jeff Probst(endlessly prodding and attempting to excite the players) and part Chris Berman(awkwardly trailing off his home run call when the ball lands on the track). His casual demeanor with the players makes it seem like they are sitting on the couch next to me. A great feat considering the tough job Scott has. There is no crowd or stadium music to get us excited. There is no sideline reporter to ask the players questions. There is no on-screen technology to help pass along information. It's all on Mark Scott. He even tells us about the park, “This park favors neither American League nor National League hitters.” Who would've guessed?

Speaking of the park, the show somehow managed to snag Wrigley Field as the venue!!
