You and MLB: It's Not Me, It's You (But Also Maybe It's You)
Ah, the allure of baseball season. Hot dogs, sunshine, the crack of the bat...until you remember you're paying an arm and a leg for a service you haven't touched since that random no-hitter in July. Fear not, fellow baseball fan with dwindling bank account balance! We've all been there. But fret no more, because today is the glorious day you free yourself from the MLB subscription shackles.
The Signs It's Time to Say Sayonara
- Your watch history is a shrine to bloopers and funny mascot antics. Look, we all love a good mascot brawl, but if that's all you're using MLB.TV for, it might be time to cut your losses.
- You only vaguely remember the names of your favorite team's players. Bryce Harper who? Mike Trout...trout fishing, maybe?
- The words "blackout restrictions" send shivers down your spine. You live ten miles from the stadium, yet you're blacked out? This is baseball blasphemy!
If you relate to any (or all) of the above, then my friend, you need to cancel. But fear not, because cancelling your MLB subscription is easier than stealing candy from a...well, you get the idea.
The Great Escape: How to Ditch MLB.TV Like a Ninja
There are two main ways to become a free agent (of the financial variety):
-
Become One with the Machine: MLB.TV offers a convenient online portal for cancellation. Log in to your account, find the "Manage Subscriptions" tab (because adulting is fun!), and follow the on-screen instructions. It's like online banking, but less likely to make you cry.
-
Speak to a Real Live Human (Maybe): If the online method leaves you feeling cold and robotic, you can always call customer service. Just be prepared for some hold music and possibly a gentle attempt to win you back. But hey, resist the siren song of free hats and hold strong!
Remember: There may be a deadline to avoid being charged again. Check the fine print (or the not-so-fine print) to make sure you're cancelling before your next billing cycle.
Freedom Feels Good (and Saves Money)
Congratulations! You've successfully cancelled your MLB.TV subscription. Take that money you saved and treat yourself to actual baseball tickets (blackout restrictions permitting, of course). Or, you know, use it to buy a vat of nachos. The possibilities are endless!
Just a parting shot: Don't worry, baseball will always be there. And who knows, maybe next season your team will actually be worth watching (no offense intended, die-hard fans!). But until then, enjoy your newfound financial freedom and the sweet taste of rebellion.
