We need to keep pace with changing world of live sports broadcasting and that means thinking about how best to package your product,” Vale said.
“We see this concept of seven-innings games in Auckland as a trial and will be keeping a close eye to see how it works.

New Zealand is the best place in the world to be a baseball fan – not just for the 7 inning games, but the MLB World Series starts at 2pm local time! Fans can watch the entire five hour World Series game and be done by seven. Sounds wonderful!

But keep calling me Old Man as some sort of argument that I’m wrong and younglings love baseball. Keep telling yourselves that.
