Well, its that time of year again! Baseball season is once again almost upon us and just like clockwork, MLB.com has the latest installment of [MLB.com At Bat 2010](http://bit.ly/ayq5bC) ready for purchase.
This time it’s $14.99 instead of last year’s $9.99 price. I can’t remember what features were in last years app to see if they have up’ed the anti as it were for this version since the price is $5 more than last year. However, the application description states:
- Spring Training statistics, LIVE audio and LIVE video (mid-March)
- Breaking league and team news
- Schedules, rosters and player stats for every team
- Video library searchable by player and team
- Enhanced LIVE game video (Regular Season)
- Home/Away broadcast feed selection (Regular Season)
- Background audio playback
- Additional enhancements to come during 2010 season
The new features sound pretty good, although it would be nice to be able to watch games (video) no matter about the blackout rules. It looks like if you purchase the [MLB.tv Premium subscription](http://bit.ly/b2SGJP) ($119.95 yearly / $24.95 a month) you will be able to see all the games on your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, home or away. A bit pricy, but less than a single ticket to a game a month. If you are truly a fan or you are a fan of a team that isn’t the home team of the city you live in, this might be a good way to go to see them play.
Either way, I’ve already nabbed the app and so far, it’s living up to it’s hype. It will be interesting to see what happens when they turn on the live video/audio for the spring training games.
