The Beckmann crew took part in Disney’s 2009 ESPN The Weekend! The annual 4-day sports-themed fan-fest (held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios) gave fans the chance to see their idols up close and personal. The event featured interactive sports zones, live ESPN telecasts from the park, fan and star Q&A sessions, as well as special events with live broadcasts from the Mike and Mike Radio Show! The Beckmann crew assisted in the production of over 20 telecasts of Baseball Tonight and Inside the NFL sports programs, hosted by Sal Palantonio, Trey Wingo, and Hall of Fame sports broadcaster Peter Gammons.
Some of the featured guests Beckmann covered was Dallas Cowboys running back, Tony Doresett, 3 time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth, and some of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game – Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, and Bret Favre. For the baseball segments, pitcher John Franco, this years newest inductee into Cooperstown – Ricky Henderson, Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer, Dennis Eckersley and Curt Schilling all made their way onto the stage.
