MLB.com is crazy

SELLING individual video clips of selected plays from 2004 for .99 each. Anything for a buck. Well, ALMOST a buck.

Although that 0:0 length clip of John MacDonald making a diving catch is tempting.........not.

This is a good one too, I'm considering it.

Whatever works, I guess.

I do like the idea of selling game broadcasts. But individual plays? Nah

I think MLB is trying for that magic of........guy goes into a booth, and pays four quarters for a three minute show.............

but, of course, the shows are a tad different.

They cost FOUR quarters now? Man, inflation's a bitch.
