    Do we get any privillages there as IP's?

    We don't get baseball on television here, and when im in the states I love watching it. The idea of actually going to a game is so cool!!

    Someone else who likes baseball.......can it be true!?!

    Be great if there were discounts, but even if not it's usually pretty cheap to go to - last time I was in America went to 5 games for the same cost of seeing 1 Tottenham game :eek:

    Shame there's no year round team in Orlando, but got major league pre-season games there all March. Watched online some Baseball 'World Cup' matches held there earlier this year and the stadium looked really impressive.

    I think you can rent the fields at the wide world of sports,but I'm not sure.

    I'm a huge baseball fan.I'll be going to a lot of Devil Rays games in Tampa because its cheap as hell and the Jays will be there(favorite team).Once spring training comes around you'll be able to see most teams play in Orlando against the Braves.Also there is the Florida State League,which is A ball,which is where all the draft picks play thier first year.There will be lots of baseball shown on the Sunshine network,don't worry. :)

    I'll probably end up seeing less baseball out there than I do here as I watch most games on my PC between midnight and 3 in the morning (where's a yawning smiley when you need it?) But live games, even if it is the D-Rays or Marlins, beat sitting in front of a computer in the middle of the night anyday 8)

    Yeah, MLB.tv is fantastic.

    Do you not get Channel Five James? 2 games a week on there, Wednesday and Sunday nights. Used to keep me relatively sane before the internet came to the rescue.

    Sure....a basic explanation can keep it pretty simple.

    If you want the long, detailed one, I'll need compensation for at least one evening's missed work though :)

    You know what would be even better... a Disney baseball league. We could have national teams for goodness sakes. Would be soo much fun. I am up for putting that together with a couple of you guys for sure. ;D

    The Disney Company has a softball league you could probably sign up for. They start playing in Feb, I believe. I meant to sign-up for it but it slipped my mind and it was too late! Also, not having a car or a regular schedule makes it rather difficult to make the games.

    Just thought I'd let yas know :)

    Where there is a will there is a way Jen. However I am not a big fan of softball, fastball is the only baseball in my opinion.

    And I am up for buying a Jays Ticket, I have never seen a MLB game, and hey they are Canadian and I am Canadian. Sounds like a winning combination to me...
