MLB.tv

My friend and a decided to test out the MLB.tv feature offered on MLB.com together. Since you can be simultaneously logged into the same password on two computers, it ended up costing us $80 total, or $40 each. We can choose to watch any game for any team, spring training and playoffs included. So I decided to see how much it costs per game if you watched every game, not that I'll be doing that.

There are 30 teams in the league and each play 162 regular season game. Each plays about 30 spring training games.

30 x 162 = 4,860
30 x 30 = 900
60 minimum postseason games
4,860 + 900 + 60 = 5,820

So we'll have 5,820 MLB games available to us from March til October and it only cost us $40 each. That's gonna run us about $0.007 per game. Not too shabby. Two of my classes today were canceled, so I'm done for the day and will be able to check out the quality of MLB.tv today at 12.05 CST when the Yankees visit St. Petersberg to play the Devil Rays.
