Meet some of the Comcast crew: Arlen Showstack is the talented Producer and Director of the Yawkey League Baseball games. His roles often include all pre and post production work which involves crewing, delegating positions, directing the games and editing them for each telecast. Arlen runs local Origination for Boston. Being a long time youth baseball coach in the town of Brookline for the past 32 years, Arlen can relate to giving the talented players of the Yawkey League a platform to showcase their talents. Stu Sklaver, commonly known as Cousin Stu on the telecasts, works diligently the stats. He assists the Graphic person inside the production truck and continually updates statistical information and analysis prior to and during games. Each year he looks to bring on a new feature and it will be interesting to see what he has in store this year. Since childhood, Stu's passion was Baseball. Whether it was announcing games during Red Sox telecasts, or keeping track of an array of stats in a scorebook, one thing will always remain - his love of the game. Frank Morello runs the 1st base camera, normally atop a scaffold situated near the 1st base bag. He provides outstanding coverage for both live and replay footage. Frank is also the Master Control operator for Boston Local Origination for Comcast. Whether he's high above the field on a scaffold, or capturing videotaped games in a control room server for airing, Frank is always extremely focused on his task. Andy Anderson, a long time Comcast employee often runs the 3rd base camera for games providing exceptional coverage and replay footage as well. Andy is truly a jack of all trades, and at times fills in as video engineer as needed. Residing furthest away from the Yawkey Leagues numerous baseball venues, Andy runs the community access studio for the town of Milford. Allan Segal has been the voice of Yawkey League Baseball for several years now. Announcing has always been his forte, whether it's high school sports or on the collegiate level, Allan is a true professional. His vast knowledge of the game coupled with a witty sense of humor always makes for exciting telecasts. Dave McKay has become a strong part of the Comcast coverage over the years as both a color commentator, and at times running play by play. And who better to provide incite into the league and all the individuals and participating groups involved other than the president of the Yawkey Baseball League himself - Dave McKay. Al Ditullio, the exceptional sideline reporter, brings a real home town feeling to the games. Each game Al is called upon numerous times for special game updates and interviews. His insightful comments are always a great addition to the telecasts. Al currently is the Play by Play for all Watertown High School Sports for Watertown Community Cable Access. Michelle Derochers works an array of crew positions during the coverage ranging from camera operator to graphics. She's also assisted on the audio board. Michelle is an Access Coordinator for the town of Dedham and always brings a positive attitude to the games. Evelyn Burke runs various positions for games as well including tape operator, audio operator and camera. She may even be called in for graphics as well. She's truly a delight to have on the crew.

John Leahy, the former voice of the Yawkey Baseball League, still makes himself available every so often in between his heavy duties as the radio broadcaster for the North Shore Spirit. His professionalism is always paramount. Eric Shulman often runs audio when available. He is also called upon as Color Commentator for various games. Eric is well versed at stats as well, and is always eager to get involved in all aspects of the production. Eric on occasion runs live stats for the Boston Red Sox. Justin Shannahan is one of the new additions to the Yawkey coverage this year and will be sharing camera duties across the field. His skill set ranges from camera to audio, though he is capable of running just about any crew position if needed. Justin runs the Abbington Access Studio. Radcliffe Angus is the lead field engineer. He's been involved with the coverage for well over a decade and has been extremely vital on all shoots. As the video engineer, his skills range from cable setup to camera phasing and balancing. During the course of our coverage you'll find Radcliffe either troubleshooting various potential issues or working the camera control units inside the production vehicle. Mike Robinson is one of our new additions to the Yawkey Baseball coverage on the engineering side. Being a baseball player himself in a men's league, he can fully appreciate the talent of the Yawkey League. Mike is projected to be the main engineer for this year's games.
