Forgot to mention, the world feed on both the All-Star Game and now the World Series has been using the updated MLB Network scoreboard. Sportsnet tended to go back and forth between that and Fox feeds over the years (Canadian television providers usually carry Fox to begin with), but they went back last year when their Blue Jays play-by-play man Buck Martinez started doing color with Matt Vasgersian for it. (so basically, it's one Buck, or another)

 

It still looks much more professional than how they used to do the world feeds (that scoreboard was quite gaudy), though I miss when Gary Thorne did the play-by-play, he was much more majestic for the World Series than Joe Buck.

It is great hearing Vasgerian and Buck Martinez doing games.

I recall an article that stated that Rogers negotiated Bucks involvement in the international feed starting in 2016.

 

Shame it wasn't the Blue Jays he was calling.

So Fox is actually chroma keying the outfield walls to add additional ads to it.

TBS did it, too. It was funny, though, that they had to put it on a dark green part of the batter's eye in Chicago, since they couldn't key it over Wrigley's ivy.
