Radio baseball is the best baseball.

Hey Google, bring me the sweet sounds of post-season Mariners baseball on the radio.an extremely dumb discourse

involving cable, streaming services, the Yankees, and somehow, New York’s Attorney General. The gist is this: Aaron Judge was poised to tie Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 home runs in a season . The game against the Red Sox aired on Apple TV Plus rather than New York’s regional cable sports network, YES. Some people got mad about that — presumably people who own bars in New York and show baseball games —.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need cable or Apple TV Plus to enjoy a historic baseball game. Follow the home town team the way I do: on the radio. Remember the radio? It still exists, and baseball is one of the best things you can use it for.

Even I, a devoted baseball fan, can hardly watch a full game because I have the attention span of a fruit flyradio to listen. Your local station might have a streaming app. Or do what I do: yell at Google Home to play the Mariners. It happily obliges and plays my local station, 710 AM, via some service called Audacy. I don’t know what Audacy is, and I don’t care to know. It brings me pure baseball joy 162 times a year, whatever it is.

There are a few advantages to consuming baseball this way. For starters, it’s free — or at least very, very cheap. Use a streaming service, or if you don’t want to, go to your local Goodwill, where I assure you there is a pile of radios available for 50 cents each. Second, you can do other things while you’re listening. Even I, a lifelong baseball fan, can hardly watch a full game on TV because I have the attention span of a fruit fly.
