The Commissioner's trophy was in town today. People were waiting in line for 3 hours to take a pic with it. Not me. Insane.
Can't wait to cop a ticket for opening day to see them raise the banner in front of the Mets

Just saw a Yankees Ichiro mini fathead at Ross for $2.50.

Debated buying it to place the Yankees decal on my toilet, but it wasn't worth wasting the money.
 
I just copped two Ichiro bobbleheads, both in Seattle unis... If anyone wants one I'll sell for like 15 bucks since y'all da homies.
 
Did anyone get the MLB.TV Class Action Settlement Notice in their email?

Nothing here, unless I deleted it by accident :lol:
Pretty long email, I don't blame you :lol:

But here's the interesting parts


MLB will lower the price of MLB.TV to $109.99 for 2016 (from the 2015 price of $129.99). MLB will be prohibited from increasing the price by more than 3% (or the federal Cost of Living Adjustment ("COLA"), if higher) per year through 2020.

For the 2016 and 2017 MLB seasons, Comcast and DIRECTV will provide the full season MLB Extra Innings product at a 12.5% discount from the 2015 price.

Increased Availability

Single-Team Packages: MLB will offer packages of single teams' out-of-market games through MLB.TV (for example, a stream of just the Kansas City Royals' games for out-of-market subscribers). This product will cost $84.99 for a full season in 2016, with MLB allowed to raise the price by no more than 3% (or COLA, if higher) for each of the next four years. MLB has also agreed to make this option available to Comcast and DIRECTV so that they may offer seasonal packages of single team games for each and every MLB Club available through MLB Extra Innings, although Comcast and DIRECTV are not obligated to offer such packages.

Follow Your Team: MLB will allow all MLB.TV purchasers who subscribe to Comcast, DIRECTV, or certain other cable, satellite or other providers to purchase a "Follow Your Team" option that will allow them to receive telecasts of their favorite out-of-market team's broadcaster without any blackouts-even when it is playing an in-market team, so long as the purchaser receives the in-market team's programming through his or her television service. This product will cost no more than $10 more than a standard MLB.TV package, which will raise the overall price of the MLB.TV package to $119.99 for a full season in 2016 for consumers selecting this enhancement.

In-Market Streaming: MLB will seek to reach agreements with Comcast, Root Sports, and Fox regional sports networks to offer live in-market streaming of their telecasts. If in-market streaming is not available for all of the teams whose games are broadcast by those networks by 2017, MLB will be prohibited from increasing prices for any of the above MLB.TV products through 2020.

Unserved Fans: MLB will offer live streaming of any in-market team's telecasts produced by Comcast, Root Sports, or Fox regional sports networks to any customer who is unable to obtain multi-channel video provider distributor service or virtual multi-channel video provider distributor service at his or her residence.
 
MLB 16 the Show looks amazing :wow: can't wait

They need to bring back real analog swing... They took it out in 15... I like pull back on the stick and swing forward... They took out the pull back part in 15 :smh:... Didn't upgrade from 14 because of that... And baseball is the one and only reason I got a PS4 over XB1 :smh: :smh: :smh:...

Haven't copped a MLB The Show game in few years because I was waiting to get a PS4.

I have been slacking on updating the thread on here.

Gotta update that this weekend.
 
No one can win an MVP twice, with both instances separated by a decade. They should induct the Pirate version of Barry Bonds only.

Career stats shown as 'career' but just from Pittsburgh, no mention of San Fran.

Ridiculous GOAT stat of the week....

Only 35 players in Major League history have both more career homeruns (176) and stolen bases (251), than Barry Bonds had just with the Pittsburgh Pirates (7 seasons).
