In what I believe is a first in professional sports history, two video gamers will play the first two innings of a baseball game for the teams. And it will count. The first two innings of the July 16 game between the Kansas City T-Bones and the Schaumburg Flyers will be played on X-Box. It will be shown on the JumboTron and the stadium announcers will provide play-by-play. To make it more intriguing, apparently the T-Bones and the Flyers are rivals; the Flyers came from behind to beat the T-Bones in the playoffs last year. This must be pretty frustrating for the players. But wow, technology has come so far from the days of basic Nintendo.
