Baseball analyst Steve Phillips has been fired by ESPN after admitting to an affair with an assistant at the cable network.
ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said last night the network determined Phillips’s ability to be an effective analyst was “significantly and irreparably damaged.’’
Phillips’s acknowledgment Wednesday of his relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley was splashed across the New York tabloids for days, embarrassing the Bristol, Conn.-based cable station.
