This portion of Major League Baseball's media contracts has riled many Redbirds rooters who do not have access to the streaming outlets. But those complaints figure to be a mere ripple compared to what could unfurl Friday, when Apple TV+ exclusively shows the Cardinals-Dodgers game from Los Angeles that starts at 9:10 p.m. (St. Louis time).
Not only is it a matchup of first-place teams, it is possible that the Cards' Albert Pujols could hit his 700th career home run that night. Entering play Thursday, he was two short of becoming the fourth player in MLB history to attain the milestone.
