MLB sells game clips for 99 cents

Major League Baseball is taking a page from online music stores such as Apple Computer's iTunes. The league on Thursday began selling video clips of "memorable baseball moments" for 99 cents each. These highlights will feature the best strikeouts, home runs and fielding plays of the season for people to buy and download.

MLB will sell 10 to 15 minute audio clips of the previous day's games for 99 cents as well. The clips are edited from the game's radio announcers and include commentary from the league's own production office.

The clips will be encoded in Windows Media.

Give me a break!!!
How much more money can these greedy bastards take from the public. Bad enough to spend $100 just to bring the family to watch a Red Sox game now adays!

will this work? maybe in a few instances
99 cents to watch the same highlights of yesterdays games that ESPN already shows? I don't think so.
99 cents to watch memorable moments from this season? possible, but not probable, except to see something historic like Ichiro break the hits record.
99 cents to watch great moments in baseball history? yes, but I'm not sure if that's what they have in mind.
