Log Me Into The Ball Game

By Sean Gregory

Most days, only fantasy-league players and stat geeks get excited by baseball box scores. But MLB.com has thrown a new curve in the old game. The website's VBox allows you to click on a box-score number and watch the corresponding highlight--or lowlight. Ken Griffey Jr. has two hits? Watch them both on VBox. The home team's announcers call the action, and the video quality is top-notch. VBox is available free in about half of MLB.com's box scores. By July's All-Star break, it should be up for all games.
