MLB Network

 MLB television network has been launched.  Unfortunately, my cable company, Grande Communications, doesn't  carry it.  I would love to have seen the historic footage of the Don Larson perfect game which was shown in one of the initial MLB network broadcasts.   If you get tired of ESPN's Baseball Tonight, the MLB Network may become a good alternative.  You can put your zip code into the MLB Network web site "channel locator" to determine if you have access to the network.

If that process shows that your cable provider doesn't carry the network, you can choose to have the web site send a letter to the provider requesting that it carry the network.  I did that for Grande (and if any other Austin/San Marcos subscribers feel the same, please go throough the same process).

I don't usually link to other message boards, but I think this post by Bob Hulsey at the Astrosdaily message board about the circumstances behind the Larson perfect game footage was intriguing.
