World Series Online

October 23, 2004 5:37 PM

Listening to the game...I'd like to listen to the World Series online - sure, I could tune in the "home of the Cardinals", KMOX, but um, yeah, I don't have an AM receiver in the house. I just noticed this (that I don't have AM). Anyone know of a *free* site to stream ballgames?

notsnot - you can watch a somewhat delayed (maybe 15 seconds?) video feed of the camera in the dirt near the batter's box, with the audio from fox here. the feed isn't the strongest, but it's enough to follow sufficiently, especially if you have mlb gameday up, which i recommend. but then again i'm a baseball nerd.

I was sure the answer was no, so that is so cool.

.:The FAN 590 - Toronto's Sports Radio has the ESPN feed. Much better than listening to Tim McCarver.

Thanks! I'm listening to the feed from Japan right now.

I'm pretty sure the US market for baseball is cornered by Real, hence the foreign streams

Thanks guys. the 1b cam was good enough. I'm painting my house, and the friends I had over to help were clamoring for something.

No, it's cornered by MLB. $14.95 gets you a gameday audio subscription good for every game of the regular and postseason. It works with both WinMediaPlayer and Real.

A couple of years ago you could get the streaming audio from some of the team's radio affiliates, but MLB has cracked down on this.
