Legion World Series again to be streamed live on Web site
INDIANAPOLIS (July 16, 2010) — For American Legion Baseball fans, a perfect summer day is spent sitting in the stands, watching a Legion World Series game. Those who are unable to attend the upcoming World Series in Spokane, Wash., Aug. 13-17, can enjoy the next best thing: watching the games online, as they’re played. For the second year in a row, the Legion Baseball World Series will be streamed live via the Legion’s Website. All 14 games played this year at Avista Stadium will be available for live viewing online at www.legion.org. Fans tuning in will hear play-by-play announcements from former Major League Baseball star Jeff Kent, as well as longtime Legion Baseball supporter Jim Darby.
Last year’s World Series in Fargo, N.D., marked the Legion’s first-ever web streaming of games. Nearly 19,000 unique visitors from 15 different countries tuned in to watch a total of 2.4 million minutes of play throughout the four-day tournament. Fans who missed last year’s live streaming of the championship, or who simply want to see the highlights, can still watch the webcasts from the 2009 American Legion Baseball World Series.
Go to www.legion.org/legiontv and click on “Baseball.” In the meantime, remember to tune in to www.legion.org/baseball Aug. 13-17 to watch live coverage, free of charge, of the 2010 American Legion Baseball World Series.
