How I watch baseball:



I watch every Brewers and minor league affiliate game everyday. It is difficult; but I do it. If you were a true fan you would do it too.

How I get this done:

1. Hire my own camera people. Most games aren’t on TV so I have camera people.
For minor league team's home games it is easier. I just go and buy season tickets and a digital camera for the most ardent fan and make sure that he goes to all the games. He then uploads the feed to me.

Away games are more difficult. Sometimes it is placing an ad for a "babysitter" on Craig’s List in the City they will be playing and then when I get a response, I tell them what the real job is. It may seem creepy but I do have a limited budget so a kid with a decent cell phone is all that I can afford at times.

2. Eliminate other aspects of my life. An average of 4 or 5 games a day takes some time. I don’t watch live, so I fast forward through breaks between innings and pitching changes, but I still need to plan on about 11 hours of watching baseball a day. Extra inning games make it even tougher. How I do it:
a. Food delivery: With the ability to use Uber Food, there really isn’t any reason to leave my couch other than to walk to the front door or the bathroom.
b. Apartment living: I sold the house. To much work to keep it up. An apartment leaves me more time for watching baseball.
c. Isolation: Other people in my life really got in the way of my watching baseball. I have chosen to limit such interactions during the summer. My Mom isn’t very understanding on the pink bat holiday in May; but by November I am still invited back for Thanksgiving.

If you are willing to split the cost for the away game "babysitters", I would be willing to share my feeds. Perhaps we could create some type of coop around this? If interested, contact me in November, I will have time to talk about it then.
