Assuming you’ve been able to successfully validate your iPhone after the 3.0 firmware update, you will be thrilled to know that Major League Baseball is now offering live video streaming of out of market games over WiFi and 3G. The new service was recently added to the MLB.com At Bat 2009 app, available now on the App Store for $9.99.
When the video service officially starts tomorrow, it will offer one to two live streaming games per day, but as Business Insider reports, MLB will eventually make available every out of market game. Now, you won’t be able to watch local games (i.e. Bostonians can’t watch the Red Sox), but you can always listen to the audio stream in those cases.
This restriction is kind of a bummer for fans who love their local teams (then again, you could just watch the game on television), but for anyone not living in the city where their favorite team plays, the addition of video streaming to this already amazing app is sure to cause many a joy coma.
Anyone out there planning on buying the app now that it supports live video streaming?

Another word of caution.... MLB pretty much considers almost any game "in market". I purchased a month of their MLB.tv service and more than half the games were blacked out. I was trying to watch the Tribe in MN for god's sake!!

New MLBTV service + AT&T network?!? It might work next year....

And just a word of caution, MLBTV's apps and software support are TERRIBLE when they're launching new services. Ask anyone who had to deal with this season's new NextDef player.
I have a year video subscription, so I'm taking a wait & see approach to this...

Wow, live video of the most boring spectator sport in America.
I guess a one-time $10 isn't too bad if you're a fan of Baseball.

Awesome. Now I can watch the Marlins kick the Dodgers' ass on the go.
