Another Fantastic Innovation From MLB
Not since the failed promotion of Spider Man 2 on the bases of MLB games have we seen such innovation. The brilliant minds of Fox and MLB have teamed up to bring you… wait for it… online coverage of the All-Star Game batting practice!!!
Chris Rose and Harold Reynolds (say it ain’t so Harold) will co-host the coverage on foxsports.com and mlb.com.
1) Clubhouse coverage of Texas Hold-Em game of the pitchers after their one inning appearance.
2) Barry Bonds helmet cam – too difficult to mount a camera that large.
3) Boat races between the coaches to decide the game when it ends in a tie again.
4) Harold Reynolds “Hugging Booth”.
5) Online voting to let fans pick the pitches during the 7th inning.
6) Dr. Pepper Fan Challenge – one lucky fan gets to pitch run during the game. $1 million prize if they can steal a base. $50,000 for dumping Gatorade on Tim McCarver.

"This isn't going to be 'batting-practice cam'," Fox Sports president Ed Goren says. "It's going to be a television show on the Internet — that's where everything is moving."Other rejected ideas for the All-Star game:
