MLB.com At Bat heading to BlackBerry 10 for opening day
What's up baseball fans? While baseball season is still a few months off, you'll be happy to know that MLB.com At Bat will be waiting for you on opening day. MLB has let the word out that their app will be available for BlackBerry 10 devices - so no need to worry. As in previous years, you can expect full news, scores, standings, hopefully game video & audio broadcasts and much more. I'm super excited for this one and can't wait for BlackBerry 10 and for the Mets to have another amazing season.

The Jays and RIM are great together. I've got the official Jays BBM contact that sends out all the great info on the team.

I hope to see mlb.tv come to BB10 as well, so I can watch my Braves on my phone!
swishhh Jan 23, 2013 at 11:37 am
This is great news!! The more big name companies that support BB10, the better
Willeonabe Jan 23, 2013 at 11:49 am
This makes me quite happy! Pitchers and catchers are only 3 weeks away. Let's go Yankees!
diego.roscetti Jan 23, 2013 at 12:02 pm
I know. Crazy isnt it. That is my secondary countdown. First is my BB10 countdown!! :)

With spring training around the corner, a revamped Jays club, and a new BB to boot?! Can't wait to hear "Yes sir, there she goes" on my Z10.

Cardinal Nation rejoice! This will be our year and with BB10, I will not miss any of the action. Now let's hope there will be a scoring app available as well.

Posted a thread a while back that MLB was giving advance notice that we were on the cusp of BB 10. That's a lot better than last year's fiasco.

This is really an important blog post that will likely be overlooked by many (especially analysts). MLB for Blackberry was not coming to 7.0/7.1 devices last year. It took allot of pressure and deal making to get it there. And it arrived literally on Opening Day - long after Android and IOS had the app. The app developer did not want to make an updated app and literally did a minor update to make it BB7 ready.
The early commitment of the MLB app is a really good sign. Netflix, Skype, NBA and Amazon (the full version with cloud - not the Java version) can be sideloaded, but getting native apps or even ported apps for the top tier apps will be crucial to BB10's success.
randall2580 Jan 23, 2013 at 5:00 pm
^^this. Mostly. But do we know for sure the phones will allow side loading considering that once you allow that to happen, your phone is no more secure than the Androids "we" love to make fun of here at CrackBerry?
Rootbrian Jan 24, 2013 at 3:06 pm
Those other apps you listed as crucial can only arrive if those developers or companies make the apps.
kozmo68 Jan 23, 2013 at 3:29 pm
MLB, NHL MLSE, but now we need to hear from NBA and NFL. get those and we have all major NA sports covered..
Awesome!
Only 7 more sleeps till we see all of BB10!
zombie73 Jan 23, 2013 at 5:08 pm
Good to see! excited for BB10 and the Jays!

I wasn't going to get MLB.TV this year (being a cubs fan is hard) but if they include at-bat with it as the do on the other platforms they will get my business again. Supporting BB10 will generate revenue. I hope more and more companies recognize that.
trueredsoxfan_58 Jan 23, 2013 at 7:35 pm
so is this an andoid port, Adobe Air, C++, or webworks. Im guessing air since mlb.tv is based on flash
BBZ10FAN Jan 23, 2013 at 11:13 pm
I echo the sentiment with regards to MLB.TV. Even moreso, we need to have a Slingbox app on the BB10 devices since it is absolutely useless for any OS 6.0 and above device (this goes for the PlayBook as well).
In any case, pitchers and catchers in 19 days!! Let's Go Mets!!
Turnda643 Jan 24, 2013 at 12:45 am
Well this is good news to me. But I'll regress my excitement until I get confirmation that MLB tv will be available on my devices. I sure hope so. Cause otherwise, this app is useless to me and I will pass on it.

I saw what you did there in the last sentence. Go Amazing. Mets!
