The Red Sox v
The Yankees
Wednesday 24th March
2004
Broadcast details
- Stadium details
Brett sent us an email
saying that he was going to this game
Had a look at the radio schedule and it was to be broadcast live
Great!!!
We listened to the game from start to finish
but Brett did not play
Damn!!!
Now this was
disappointing - but
it could have been worse!!!
Because the game was also televised live on Major League Baseball
TV!!!
"Yanks,
Sox meet again on MLB.TV
Watch the action live from Legends Field on Wednesday
When the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees cross Grapefruit
League paths again
Wednesday night, the occasion won't have the buzz of their first
spring meeting.
But it will have MLB.TV, which will carry the live action from
Legends Field"
BUT here is another note from MLB's web
site
"PLEASE NOTE
MLB.TV is streamed both live and on-demand at full-color high
resolution broadband video
You will need to have the RealOne player installed
and a dedicated Internet connection with throughput of at least
380K or higher"
Our internet connection
is just ISP-Dial Up
We would have been "really
cranky" if he
played on live television
and we couldn't watch!!!
