Why Does Major League Baseball Keep Taking Down The New York Mets Citi Field Gary Baba Booey Dell’Abate Video?

If you try to watch Gary Dell’Abate’s awful first pitch at the Mets game you will likely find that “this video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by MLB advanced media.”

I can understand that MLB wants to horde all their highlights on mlb.com (short sighted, but I can understand it) – but why this one?

How is their business going to be harmed if this video is available in the wild?

Do they plan to make mlb.com/bababooey to horde all the page views?

Will there be a special DVD about it?

The only “loss” would be some pre-game footage.  Who cares?

Fortunately as of 8:30 this fan video is still working…
