What the Collins video showed us was that fly-on-the-wall baseball is an absolute dream. To <i>hear</i> pitchers and catchers talk about whatever is behind the gloves covering their lips. To <i>empathize</i> with the umpires who have to explain the technicalities that a spittle-flecked manager doesn’t want to hear. To <i>understand</i> the game better. It would take an enjoyable product and make it much better. ... I would pay $500 a year for access to live mics on the field. I’m an active parishioner of the Church of Vin Scully, and yet my platonic idea of watching a baseball game is to hear the sounds and the cracks and the snaps and the grunts and the yelling and the yelling and the yelling and the yelling. To be omnipotent like this ... it’s the baseball fan’s dream."allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
