Media Views: Blame MLB, not Apple, if you didn't see Pujols hit No. 700

Where were you when Albert Pujols became only the fourth big-leaguer to hit 700 home runs? In the dark?

Because of a Major League Baseball decision, many now-grumbling Cardinals fans missed out on seeing live coverage of the milestone being reached on Friday night.

The contest, an 11-0 Redbirds rout, was in a package of games sold by MLB to Apple TV+, a streaming-only outlet that has televised games on Friday nights throughout the season. It's a controversial move, as there many people who don't have — or do not know how to access — the technology.
