He has been making a strong case for exactly that ever since. The Marquee role led to a stint as a game analyst on MLB Sunday Leadoff, which in turn led to co-hosting Jamal Crawford\u2019s NBA altcast last year<\/a>, as well as his work on MLB Network\u2019s Clubhouse Edition<\/a> programming.<\/p>\n Fowler spent 14 seasons in the majors, bouncing from Colorado to Houston to Chicago to St. Louis to Anaheim, and his two years with the Cubs produced some of the most memorable moments of his career, perhaps none more so than the leadoff home run that opened Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. He retired with .259\/.358\/.417 career slash lines and a reputation as one of the more thoughtful voices in any clubhouse he occupied, which has continued to carry over into his second act.<\/p>\n Sunday\u2019s game will also feature Andy Dirks and Brad Thompson<\/a> alongside Jason Benetti<\/a> in the booth, with Fowler handling pregame duties alongside Ahmed Fareed<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t
