Baseball Zen

[BackAgain]

Since I no longer live in the deep blue wasteland known as the “Empire State,” I need to use MLB.tv to watch the Yankees playing baseball for most of this season. As a result, I have been seeing a weird set of “ads” (?) or fillers between innings. They are collectively known as baseball zen

The magic behind MLB.TV’s ‘Baseball Zen’ videos

The mesmerizing, 30-second clips between innings highlight the pleasant sights and sounds of baseball’s mundane moments

I wondered if anyone else is seeing these spots? Seems more media oriented than sports oriented so I am putting the thread here. But I have to say, I think these spots capture part of the appeal of baseball.

Never thought of any of it as “zen” before. But a long season Ebbs and flows. Rain delays. Ground crew prep. All of it. No wonder I love baseball.

I love those commercials. I am at this moment watching the World Champion Atlanta Braves. But I grew up a diehard Yankees fan. As a little boy Bobby Murcer was a God to me. And always remember...

I subscribe too. Being overseas I watch games the next day except right now - Sunday day game. Just the same still-screen ad between innings; Field of Dreams by some mattress firm.

Lol. Not this year. Not overall historically.

Best thing the Red Sox ever did was trade Babe Ruth. By the way. Thanks again!

The 1961 World Series was unbearable for me, and I was only 11
