LOS ANGELES – In an unprecedented leap forward for modern technology, Major League Baseball announced today that anyone wishing to witness the Arizona Diamondbacks face the Los Angeles Dodgers can now do so by “watching it” using previously undiscovered methods such as the internet, television, or, in rare cases, attending in person.
“For decades, the question ‘how do I watch this game?’ has stumped millions,” said MLB spokesperson Lindsey Carmichael during a press conference held on the Jumbotron at Dodger Stadium. “Today, we’re proud to present detailed, six-step instructions and a handy 12-tab flowchart for accessing the livestream, assuming you have a PhD in remote control operation.”
Fans who have navigated the process remain in awe. “I was able to watch the D-Backs play the Dodgers without hiring a private investigator or waiting for a carrier pigeon recap,” said lifelong baseball enthusiast Brad Timmons. “After only three online subscriptions and four password resets, I was ready to see the first pitch—just as soon as my internet stopped buffering.”
Some users remain skeptical. “I still don’t understand why I can’t just yell ‘baseball’ into my microwave and see the game,” said Glendale resident Shirley Murkowski, 68. “Back in my day, we simply tuned the TV with a coat hanger and some good intentions.”
Meanwhile, MLB confirms its next innovation: sending a representative to personally explain to each fan the difference between ‘livestream’ and ‘slideshow.’
