Speaking of camera for games. I already love that we finally have a sky cam that runs down the third base line.

It is when team ERA is 1.00Faustus said:
Relief pitching aside I hope to see the offense untracked for more than 7 singles and 1-8 in RISP tonight.
2 earned runs isn't going to get a lot of Ws.
Slightly off topic, but in the same line of thought.... I went to a game in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela one time. The "Tiburones" vs. "Caribes". What an experience. "Band" playing on trash cans and fans yelling constantly all game.Hub `93 said:
I would LOVE to go to a game in Japan just to experience the crowd in person.
