Commercials started airing the week of July 22, 2002

KELLY RIPA ON: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.
Kelly Ripa: "Nobody sets out to marry a baseball fanatic. If you walk into a room and Derek Jeter strikes out, then you're no longer allowed in the room. He mention that to you at all? If his team is winning, he will wear the same shirt over and over and over again until they lose. It's never the team's fault... If a world series title is at stake, the kids socks go in his pocket, because that's very lucky.
Announcer:"Catch a moment you'll never forget. Watch Major League Baseball on TV."

MARK CONSUELOS ON: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.
Mark Consuelos: "When chosing a name for our son, I wanted to chose a baseball name. Something that'd be good coming out of an announcer's voice. We were going with Cruz, cause I thought Cruz Consuelos would be a good name, especially for a short-stop. Now batting Cruz (Cruz...) Consuelos (Consuelos...). So I wanted to go with Cruz, Cruz Consuelos, but my wife was like... she thinks I'm crazy, so we stuck with Michael. But I think Michael Consuelos is a great baseball name. You know, Mikey Consuelos. Mikey Joe Consuelos."
