Baseball highlights on iTunes is right in the strike zone

iPod and baseballFinally, the way has come to get my dad into the iTunes Store. Apple’s announced that they’ll be partnering with Major League Baseball to host video content on the store. My dad’s a certifiable baseball nut (he got his annual share of Red Sox season tickets earlier in the week).

You’ll be able to get twenty-five minute “Daily Rewinds” of baseball highlights for $1.99 each, or a month’s worth for $7.99. In addition, every week will see two “Games of the Week,” which will showcase the best games from both the National and American Leagues, from first pitch to final out. A Season Pass for all the Games of the Week will run $19.99.

As if that’s not enough, iTunes and MLB will also be putting out classic games for $1.99 apiece (2004 Yankees-Sox playoffs, anyone?). Finally, a free preview of the upcoming season will be available for free sometime soon.

Whether this will be enough to tear my father away from his brand new FIOS cable setup, it’s hard to say. But maybe his eyes won’t glaze over next time I start to explain the future of downloadable media.
