Lyons’ first appearance will be during NESN’s two-and-a-half hour pregame show prior to Fenway Park’s Opening Day on Friday.
“We are thrilled to have Steve join our team of veteran studio analysts,” NESN’s vice president of programming and production Joseph Maar said. “He brings incredible passion, experience, candor and depth of knowledge about Major League Baseball along with a familiarity with Boston as both a player and a broadcaster.”
Lyons played nine seasons in the major leagues with four different teams including four stints in Boston and is a three-time national Emmy award-winning broadcaster. Drafted in the first round by the Red Sox in 1981 out of Oregon State, he is one of only three players to play all nine positions in one game at the major league level.
