The first pitch of the 2003 regular season on Fox Sports Net takes place in Baltimore as the Tribe takes on the Orioles on Monday, March 31 at 3 pm.
Veteran Indians announcers Rick Manning, beginning his 15th season on Fox Sports Net, and John Sanders, returning for his 13th season, will call 70 games. Mike Hegan will once again provide play-by-play and color analysis with Manning or Sanders for the remaining 80 games on the schedule.
