POLLMAN: Would a Baseball Channel Work?

a baseball channel whould be great. especially if they would be able to keep new stuff on it daily instead of playin the same thing over and over.

if it was done right it would work. they have fuel tv for action sports so we should be able to have a beseball channel.

Imagine all the classic World Series games that could be run. An entire series on dominant pitchers.. movies.. live feeds from the Winter Leagues. If only.

That would be great. I already watched a game from the Hawaii Winter League last week. Good stuff. I would love to watch the Caribbean, et al winter leagues, even if it were in Spanish.

It would be one of the leading reasons for divorce and would increase the # of suspcious missing person reports in suburban America. While I would love to see some college baseball in the early Spring I'm afraid we would end up watching Yankee highlites 4x a day, all year.

I would love to see it happen but I truly have serious reservations about a baseball only television station working. Remember that we are not talking about golf where any 65 year old Joe can still playing and is trying to improve their game.

I would love to watch some of the classic games.

how about a baseball channel that included the hsbbw in some fashion? maybe wk q/a

I think college baseball is on the verge of exploding and being an almost as big as basketball. If the scholarship rules would change, where you could get more kids to for-go the minors, I have no doubt that it could become big.

I'd also like to see youth baseball other than the LL world series. There is so much better ball out there.

My only concern is the off season, but then you could show some showcase games, or WWBA events.

I personally would love a baseball only network but I don't think it would be viable. Somehow I just don't think that the baseball fans out there would be supportive enough to keep it going.

But please, if anyone ever decides to do it, let me be the first to subscribe.

In the NY area they had YES Network, Yankee Entertainment and Sports that was on cable TV.

News Flash! The Baseball Network has now hired Harold Reynolds as its Executive Director, and he is expecting to expand operations immediately. Minorities (but not women) are encouraged to apply!

Mr. Reynolds announced a change to the Monday Primetime Lineup:

8:00 - 8:30 PM Boys of Summer Gone Wild
8:30 - 9:00 PM The History of Bunting
9:00 - 9:30 PM Boston's Legal Supplements
9:30 -10:00 PM Survivor: The Life of Joe Torre

Hmm. Yea, maybe this won't work.

I would like to see one. I'd like to see a variety of teams from MLB instead of the same ones over and over. I would like to see minor league, Japan League, more college, high school state tournaments, etc. So many players come into the majors and you know nothing about them because they are not on the teams we are force fed to watch all of the time.

I would say a definate yes.

It would require good commentators(nothing like Brantly,Kukrjain,etc)and coverage of all levels.The College,Minor League,Major League,International ball,and even top HS players,in my opinion.

how awesome would that be.

futurecatcher27.. I think you hit on something here! Baseball has a huge following in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and of course in Latin America. A baseball channel could potentially draw huge interest from those markets and provide an advertising venue for large marketers.. say, GM, Microsoft. Not to mention Easton, Wilson, etc. Interesting.
