===MLB Network=== At the channel's launch on January 1, 2009, Costas hosted the premiere episode of ''All Time Games'', a presentation of the recently discovered [[kinescope]] of Game{{nbsp}}5 of the [[1956 World Series]]. During the episode, he held a forum with [[Don Larsen]], who pitched MLB's only postseason [[Perfect game (baseball)|perfect game]] during that game, and [[Yogi Berra]], who caught the game. Costas joined the network full-time on February 3, 2009. He hosted a regular interview show titled ''MLB Network Studio 42 with Bob Costas'' as well as special programming and provides play-by-play for select live baseball game telecasts.<ref>Michael Schneider (February 3, 2009).

The Astros went on to win 8β2. Costas and his color commentator [[Jim Kaat]] received criticism for their "bantering about minutia" and misidentification of plays. Costas also went on to become an [[internet meme]] after using the term the "sacks were juiced" to describe the bases being loaded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weei.com/blogs/alex-reimer/please-keep-bob-costas-away-red-sox-playoff-games|title=Please keep Bob Costas away from Red Sox playoff games|date=October 6, 2017}}</ref>
