E:60 is ESPN's first multi-subject prime-time newsmagazine program offering a combination of investigative features, profiles of intriguing sports personalities, and cutting edge stories on innovation in the sports world, including emerging sports and new technology. The series will tell life stories that relate or have a basis in sports, melding its stories with a glimpse of the reporters' experiences discussing the story ideas. The show will be produced and aired in high definition, a first for the newsmagazine genre.
E60 weaves the story of Abbott's life and career around a recounting of the no-hitter, which occurred on Sept. 4, 1993, when the Yankees hosted Cleveland at Yankee Stadium. For Southpaw, E60 secured access to the current Yankee Stadium for a special night of filming with Abbott where he was interviewed on the field and watched and commented on the broadcast of his no-hitter with Schaap on the stadium's big screen.
There has never been a story in sports history quite like Abbott's. Born in Flint, Mich., in 1967 without a right hand, Abbott rose to unexpected prominence as a baseball pitcher, first in his hometown, then at the University of Michigan, where he was named America's best amateur athlete in 1987. After pitching the gold medal winning game for the U.S. at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Abbott was drafted by the California Angels in the first round. After several seasons with the Angels, he was traded to the Yankees.
Throughout Abbott's rise to the highest levels of baseball, he was, at times, a reluctant role model, struggling with the pressure and exclusion that came with being "an inspiration." Abbott's unprecedented and transformational career earned him international fame, and his story affected thousands of disabled and limb-different children across the globe.
Now, 30 years removed from the height of his popularity, Abbott's impact is still felt both on and off the field of play. Southpaw is an unforgettable story about ingenuity, identity and what it's like to be different.
In addition to Abbott himself and members of his family, more than 40 people were interviewed for Southpaw, including Hall of Famers from baseball and some current limb-different athletes.
Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana native and Super Bowl champion Ryan Clark returns to New Orleans in a new ESPN E60 to explore the storm's lingering impact on the city and its resilient people.
Throughout an emotional journey across the city, Clark connects with a wide array of Crescent City figures including NFL veteran Leonard Fournette, who lived through Katrina as a 10-year-old, and New Orleans Saints personalities Drew Brees, Sean Payton and Steve Gleason, who re-live the Saints' emotional return to the Superdome on Sept. 25, 2006, the first game in New Orleans after Katrina more than a year after the hurricane.
Clark also talks with local musicians, cultural figures and longtime residents who lived through the tragedy and grappled with its impact over the past two decades.
Kiffin is now in his sixth season at Ole Miss, the longest he has been a head coach anywhere in his nearly 30-year career. With much of Kiffin's life in the public eye, he's most known for abrupt exits from jobs and social media antics.
Kiffin comes from a football family. His father Monte was a decorated coach, most notable for popularizing the "Tampa-2" defense that led the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl championship. Monte's relationship with then USC head coach Pete Carroll helped Lane get a jump start in the coaching world from a young age.
Kiffin's head coaching journey began at the age of 31 when he was hired to lead the NFL's Oakland Raiders. This would start a series of coaching exits that would form a public reputation for chaos and controversy.
From a famous post-firing press conference by the late Raiders owner Al Davis to a legendary early morning firing at LAX airport with USC, the biggest moments in Kiffin's career often had a flair for the dramatic.
Now, at 50, Kiffin is reexamining his journey. In candid conversations with E60, he discusses his path to sobriety, his commitment to self-improvement through practices like hot yoga, and his renewed focus on family. In the film, McGee also has interviews with Kiffin's daughter, Landry, and son, Knox. In addition, the program includes archival sound from his late father.
This was more than a mere rivalry; it was a blood feud. It exploded in a massive brawl on March 26, 1997 when Darren McCarty sought revenge on Claude Lemieux who had seriously injured the Red Wings' Kris Draper the year before.
