Recently ESPN mic’d up Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo and third baseman Kris Bryant while bringing in new and old Cubs managers David Ross and Joe Maddon, respectively. It was terrific interplay and insight with Rizzo practically auditioning for his next gig in broadcasting-right on the field during the game. As soon as it ran on ESPN, it was a hit and another step forward in technology, bringing us ever closer to the game of baseball.
Marquee Sports Network (MSN) has picked up on this little bit of fan tech love and is trying to expand the boundaries.
