Why MLB is dying
They're STUPID.
Little Girl Throws Ball Back, MLB Throws Embeds Away
September 16th, 2009 | by Jennifer Van Grove



Last night something with the potential to go insanely viral happened at a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game. Big time Phillies fan, Steve Monforto, caught his first foul ball, promptly handed it over to his 3-year-old daughter, Emily, who then immediately threw it back onto the field. After initial shock, the dad embraced his daughter in a very touching baseball moment.

The hilarious and heart-warming incident was caught on tape by the MLB, but also received the user-generated treatment appearing on YouTube in many forms, creating quite the social media stir almost instantly after the event took place.

Due the nature of the clip, it was poised to become a viral sensation on YouTube() and around the Web. Unfortunately the MLB doesn’t want to play ball. They’ve decided to make copyright claims on all but their very own copy, which has no embed code to enable sharing.

The ball incident is one that has all the makings of an Internet hit: the catch was spectacular, the moment Emily threw the ball back is adorable, and the subsequent hug and fan cheering is memorable. As such, the family will appear on the Today Show tomorrow morning, and will reportedly receive a surprise gift.

It was a such a great moment for baseball, especially with the NFL season now underway, that we’re pretty disappointed by the MLB’s decision to issue copyright claims removing all traces of fan-created videos. We’re even more surprised by the fact that the MLB’s version of the video has no embed code, which means to watch it, you’re forced to visit their site. That practice seems pretty backwards in this day and age, and one that’s likely to prevent the video from living up to its viral potential.

Does anyone actually pay attention to baseball once football season begins?

I quit baseball in '94 as did many people. Glad to see it had some effect.

’94 seems to be the consensus. 2 Blue Jay World Series wins and a strike was too much for most fans to take.

I've kinda adopted the Rockies since I live close by to Denver. And I figure that since their in the NL it doesn't affect my allegiance with the Royals.
And since the Rockies are still in a playoff hunt the answer is yes I am still watching MLB.

Yes I do. All season. Football is a distant 2nd. 3rd once college hoops start. Well actually football would still be second because by then baseball is over but you get my point. Football is #3 overall.

And I don't care to find and post a link to back this up because I don't care about the link police but I heard baseball attendance was up pretty much across the board this season. Baseball isn't dying just because haters might like to think it is.

That's awesome. Not MLB throwing a fit about the copyright but the girl throwing the ball back. What a great story to tell her later.

You think baseball is dying because they won't allow people to post videos on Youtube?

I tend to think it has to do more with no salary cap. Or maybe steroids tainting the game.

No, they're STUPID in general. This is just the latest example.

They're out of touch. Is that better?
