Today’s guest columnist is Laura Gentile, former executive vice president and chief marketing officer at ESPN and founder of LauraGentile.Studio. The one thing sports fans could always bank on was ESPN being ready to serve—putting the fan first.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — On a Friday night this summer, the New York Yankees packed Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in a rematch of last year’s World Series. An hour south that same evening in Anaheim, another major-league stadium hosted a sold-out ballgame, but the contest had nothing to do with the nation’s most venerated sports league, Major League Baseball. It was between a troop of dancing ballplayers called the Savannah Bananas and a rival of their own creation, the Firefighters.MLB officials say they view the independent Bananas not as competition but as a complement, an aid to the number of…
