Netflix is planning to make a splash in its MLB Opening Night broadcast, with plans to station 73 red kayaks in McCovey Cove behind Oracle Park's right field wall for a game between the Giants and Yankees on March 25. The move is reportedly an homage to Barry Bonds' single-season home run record set during the 2001 season. The broadcast will feature seven members of the broadcast team, including Matt Vasgersian, the voice of Peacock/NBC, and former players from each team from each side serving as color analysts. The live set on site hosted by Elle Duncan with Albert Pujols commentating with Anthony Rizzo. The company has also acquired the rights through 2028 to air the Home Run Derby and one "special event" per season.
