For American Legion baseball fans, a perfect summer day is spent sitting in the stands, watching a Legion World Series game. For the second year in a row, the American Legion World Series will be streamed live via the Legion’s website August 13-17 from Spokane, Washington.
All fourteen 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, North Dakota 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 web casts 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 August 13-17 to watch live coverage, free of charge, of the 2010 American Legion Baseball World Series.
