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.

Well, baseball isn't dying because of this.......it's been dying because there's no salary cap.

Baseball is dying (dead) in KC because morons are running the show there. Go to any market with a strong ballclub and you'll see that baseball is stronger than ever. Hell, a good month in KC and suddenly the Royals 'fans' were in full throat again. Baseball as an aggregate is doing great.

Baseball's always been a regional sport, even during it's 'golden' era. You fellas live in a dead region, so naturally you think it's dead. If the Royals ever put together a winning team again, you'll see 'baseball' come roaring back, when in actuality it's really just that your region finally has something to give a damn about again.

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.

Baseball is hardly "dying." The only sport doing better than it in America is the NFL.

To be fair soccer's fans riot and kill each other so they got that going for them.

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

Wieters will be the best catcher in baseball in a couple of years. Him, Markakis, Adam Jones and all those pitchers should finally make the O's competitive again.

Be careful, though.

The Orioles have been uncanny in their ability to produce highly touted pitching prospects that flame out incredibly.

Bedard was the only guy that ever came close. They had Matt Riley, Hayden Penn, Adam Loewen, Beau Hale...the list seems endless.

The Orioles always have a 'new' class of pitchers ready to turn the franchise around. Then they 'splode.

They'll hit, though, I'll give 'em that.

Yeah, but this time there's like 5 of them, so even if 3 implode we could still get 2 good pitchers out of the deal. Like the old saying.....throw enough shit against the wall, some of it's bound to stick, right?
