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.

Several factors for me..

No steriods - I want jacked up monsters crushing the ball 600 ft...

Aluminum bats - see roids... I want the ball hit to I-70 from the K...

There is nothing pure about baseball, its boring, its played out and basically, people just dont care about it anymore...

Most of the NBA is bleeding money. The NBA as a whole is in deep financial trouble and on the verge of a lockout. You essentially have a few teams competing and the rest of the league looking to cut costs to survive.

The NFL maybe on the verge of a lockout too.

It's a completely different situation. The NFL and most of its teams are in much better financial shape.

Just exactly WTF are you talking about?

Hell, you might as well have said the WNBA is doing better than the NFL and you'd be damn near as rooted in fact as the above quoted statement.

The NBA is hemorrhaging money, attendance is down and the product is as poor as it's ever been...and I'm an NBA defender! I'm one of the few genuine fans of the league left.

This is possibly the dumbest thing I've read on this board...well at least in the last hour anyway.

Wasn't the NBA talking about giving bailout money to a couple of franchises? Just a few months ago, IIRC.

They did bailout a few teams, including Orlando, a team that was in the freaking finals.

I'll be damned.

I don't follow the NBA much, haven't for about 15 years. I was a huge fan back in the day.

Personally, I think the proliferation of the home run ball is what did it for me.

The home was more exciting when you didn't see it so regurlarly, game in and game out.

That and the station to station ball that became the norm as the result.

Baseball was a lot more enjoyable whe you had phenominal base steelers and aggressive base running.

Baseball isn't dead in Los Angeles.

Dodgers Stadium is routinely packed and the Angels stadium is the same.

It may be dead in Denver, but what isn't?
