Chris Archer to return as analyst for World Series
Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Chris Archer made such a great impression when ESPN allowed him into the broadcast booth for the American League wild-card game, the sports network is bringing back the charismatic hurler for the World Series.
The Tampa Bay Rays right-hander made the announcement Friday on Twitter.
I gotta thank all the viewers, you guys were a big reason @espn brought me back. You spoke, they listened. ?

FOX holds the broadcast rights for the actual games, but ESPN will also be providing coverage of the Fall Classic with extensive pre and postgame shows, as well as on the airwaves.
Here's a taste of Archer's insightful analysis of the clash between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros.
