Baseball: An Illustrated History


As you'd expect in a history of baseball, all the legends are here. So is the story of the game's growth from the Elysian Fields of New Jersey to the multi-million dollar entertainment it is today. But Ward and Burns do more than chronicle the exploits of heroes. They examine "America's pastime" in the context of our history, showing a relationship between the game and events, trends, and customs that shaped our country.

Spring is TV Time For Baseball Fans With Satellite TV

Baseball may not come with the fancy commercials and half-time shows of football or the cheerleaders of basketball, but it does hold the title of being the official American Pastime - and, of course, there has always been something oh-so-special about the 7th Inning Stretch. And for baseball fans across the country, spring - and the beginning of the MLB season - is an important part of the year. If you want to catch the most games possible, you should sign up for a satellite TV subscription that includes an MLB Extra Inning package.

Though more lackluster fans might only start to turn in as the season rounds third base on its way to the playoffs and the World Series - and, therefore, not really care which and how many regular season games they have access to - if you truly have a special place in your heart for the home team, you know the importance of catching the season right off the bat. A lot of excitement can happen early in the season, and with satellite TV, you should not have to miss a single (or a double or a triple) second of it.

In a given baseball season, there is a lot of action, when you consider that the season is eight or nine months long, with spring training starting early on in march and play continuing through October, or even later if they make the playoffs. And throughout this long season, baseball players play almost every day - with more games in a given week than days off. This is great for fans who live in a place where their favorite team's games are easy to attend in person, or at least catch on regional programming.

But if you do not live in the same town or city as your favorite team, keeping up may be hard to do with a simple cable subscription and local network access. From the first pitch to the final out, satellite TV lets you watch it all. With an MLB Extra Innings subscription, it does not matter if you are a Red Sox fan living in Los Angeles, a Yankees or Mets fan living in Miami, a Cubs or White Sox fan living in Houston, a Phillies fan living in Atlanta, an Orioles fan living in San Francisco, and Indians fan living in Phoenix, or a Cardinals fan living in Seattle - from the National League to the American League, you will get access to as many as 80 out-of-market games, or games that you do not have access to through local programming, every week. That means that even when your team has one of its rare days off, you can mix it up and check out their competitors' games, as well, no matter where they are from.

On top of the sheer volume of games that you will have access to, you will also get to watch them in crystal clear digital format. You can also upgrade to an MLB Extra Innings Super Fan package, which grants you additional access to ten HD games a week and the ability to watch up to eight games on a single screen. Contact your satellite TV provider today to find out more.

Catch all your favorite team's games with an MLB Extra Innings package from direct TV. In general, direct TV packages offer great programming variety and HD options, at prices you can afford.
