New York Yankees<\/a> fans, annoyed about Netflix being the home for the team\u2019s Opening Day game against the San Francisco Giants<\/a>, are sure to give a face palm following the announcement of a new addition for the historic broadcast.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t noticed yet, streaming giant Netflix has made a concerted effort in recent years to get live sports content. They now have the NFL\u2019s games on Christmas Day. Weekly content from WWE, and are the home for Jake Paul\u2019s<\/a> circus fights.<\/p>\n

Well, beginning next week, they will officially add a slice of the MLB regular season schedule to their portfolio of live sports when they broadcast the first game of the year, the March 25 matchup between the Yankees and Giants. <\/p>\n

The game not being on the regional networks for the legendary franchises has annoyed diehard and old school fans for the clubs. Well, those folks are sure to dislike the news about a \u201cspecial guest\u201d for the historic broadcast.<\/p>\n

Jameis Winston will join the NY Yankees vs. SF Giants Opening Day broadcast<\/p>\n

JAMEIS WINSTON ON OPENING NIGHT! <\/p>\n

The NY Giants quarterback will be a special guest for Yankees vs. Giants on #OpeningNight<\/a> \u2014 the first-ever MLB game on Netflix. <\/p>\n

This week, Netflix announced that New York Giants<\/a> backup quarterback Jameis Winston will make an appearance during Wednesday\u2019s broadcast. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft<\/a> played baseball while at Florida State<\/a>, and is a fun and energetic personality, but the addition simply makes no sense.<\/p>\n

This will be the first MLB game ever broadcast on Netflix. Considering the service\u2019s massive reach and wealth, you would expect them to bring in a guest with ties to the NY Yankees or Giants. Or at least to MLB. Even if they didn\u2019t want to have an old timer, they could have still brought in a popular social media influencer who focuses on baseball.<\/p>\n

Winston is not even a great player in the sport he plays, which isn\u2019t baseball. The old-timer fans are sure to give an eye roll when the veteran QB makes his appearance during the game next week.<\/p>\n
