It’s eight distributors in for YES’s 3D presentation of the July 10-11 New York Yankees-Seattle Mariners games from Seattle.

The contests will mark the first Major League Baseball games to be televised in 3D. Panasonic and DirecTV are the presenting sponsors of the two 3D telecasts.

In addition to DirecTV and Verizon FiOS, which previously announced that it was on YES’s roster for the 3D telecasts, Blue Ridge Communications, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Service Electric Broadband Cable and Time Warner Cable will make the games available in the enhanced format this weekend.

FSN NW officials said Comcast would carry the 3D versions of the games throughout the state of Washington, while Time Warner Cable will make them available in the eastern part of the state. A spokeswoman said the RSN continues to talk with other carriers about picking up the 3D ballgames.
