For the first time in four months, I watched live baseball. Granted, it was a spring training game, and it&#8217;s not nearly the same pleasure as a regular season game. But it was baseball. If you had the same feeling, you&#8217;ll be happy to hear that MLB has released its At Bat application for the BlackBerry. That is, if you&#8217;re a Storm user. The rest of us are out of luck, at least for the time being. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/mlbatbat.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:10px; margin-top:6px;\" align=\"right\" \/>You can do plenty with the app, like check standings and stats, but two features stand out. First is Gameday, MLB&#8217;s play-by-play application. They have this available via mobile web, but the Gameday application blows it out of the water. You get pitch speed and movement from MLB&#8217;s Pitch f\/x system. The play descriptions make it the best play-by-play system out there.<\/p>\n<p>The application also gets you access to live radio broadcasts for all 30 teams. Listening to a game on the radio might seem old fashioned, but that&#8217;s part of the draw. There are few pleasures in life that measure up to lazing on a warm summer&#8217;s day, cold beverage in hand, listening to Vin Scully call a Dodgers game. If you&#8217;re commuting while your favorite team plays, you can listen to the audio and follow along on Gameday.<\/p>\n<p>If something spectacular happens while you&#8217;re listening or following along on Gameday, you can click over to video highlights. They update them often, and you have full access with the Gameday app.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not free, unfortunately. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/appworld.blackberry.com\/webstore\/content\/6743\">get the MLB At Bat application<\/a> at App World for $14.99. It works with any version of the Storm.. I&#8217;m hoping that they expand it to include full games, like the iPhone&#8217;s At Bat app. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d ever put down my BlackBerry if that were the case. <\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
