You've Never Seen A Baseball Game On TV Like This

This isn't local but I wish I could see it. According to an article in the New York Post, the crews behind the Mets broadcasts on TV aren't satisfied to just do a regular game. They're constantly looking for allusions to great moments in cinema or trying for innovative shots you wouldn't expect during an MLB contest. 

"This season alone, SNY referenced the moment Dorothy walked into the colorful world of Oz by transitioning relief pitcher Edwin Díaz out of black and white as he stormed the field from the bullpen. The team also pointed to the shocking ending of the original “Planet of the Apes” by filming the field from behind a fan’s foam Statue of Liberty headband.

"SNY innovators developed a three-player split screen that mimicked the climax moment of the 2024 “Challengers” blockbuster."


The concept is all the brainchild of the production company's sports director, who tells the Post he has a notebook full of future ideas that he wants to put into practice during this season's games. 

I'm not sure if all fans would appreciate the extra touch - for most, it's just show me the game - but it sure would be interesting to see it in action. And the way the Mets are playing this season, it may be one of the only reasons to watch!

Trying to bring in more casual fans and viewers.  Somebody has to fund the annual 'Bobby Bonilla Day'!
😁
