BOXING: Play-by-play voice Kenny Rice returns to call boxing after making his Olympic debut with NBC Sports as a boxing reporter at the 2004 Athens Games. As a result of its limited availability, satellite providers DirecTV, Dish Network and the now-defunct PrimeStar experienced a far slower rate of subscriber penetration into the Philadelphia market compared to other American cities. A local product, Ben was selected by the San Diego Padres as the second overall pick in the 1995 draft out of Malvern Preparatory School and went on to have a seven-year major league career with the Padres (1998-2001), Seattle Mariners (2002-04) and Chicago White Sox (2004). Looking forward to working with @bendavisnbcs and @rickybottalico for today's game. Jimmy ranked in the top three in the NL in fielding percentage in 11 of the 13 seasons that he qualified, including leading the league four times. Amaro, 58, called around 50 games last year for the network, and said he might call more this season. The Phillies are scheduled to appear on Foxs regionalized coverage six times, beginning Saturday against the Rangers. Within days of the purchase, Comcast indicated that it was considering launching a new RSN, and approached the Philadelphia Phillies about entering into a broadcast deal. Comcast opted not to carry CSN Philadelphia, unwilling to distribute the network if it had to black out 76ers game telecasts.

Ben converted to pitcher for the final three seasons (2008-10) of his professional career, spent with single-A Sarasota in the Cincinnati Reds organization and the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League. Jimmy was born in Alameda, Calif., and currently lives in Encino, Calif., with his wife Johari and their three daughters, Camryn, Logan and Brie. Thursday at 9am ET: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC and Peacock. Fans of the Philadelphia 76ers get treated to a great broadcast team every night with the likes of the legendary Marc Zumoff handling the play-by-play duties while Alaa Abdenaldy handles the color commentary. The channel broadcasts regional coverage of professional sports teams in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, as well as college sports events and original sports-related news, discussion and entertainment programming. He worked as a scout for the Mets in 2019. He and his wife Chesco reside in Moorestown, N.J., and have six children: Amanda, Arielle, KJ, Bryce, Seychelle and Quinlan.
