Calling All Baseball Bonanza Seekers: How to Score MLB.TV on Amazon Prime (Because Cable Bills Are So Last Season)
Let's face it, folks, for the true baseball fanatic, the summer months are synonymous with catching every single glorious crack of the bat, every diving catch that would make even Spiderman jealous, and every inning that stretches into the wee hours (because #EastCoastBaseball, am I right?). But ditch the cable bill that seems to inflate faster than a rogue beach ball and settle in for a more modern approach: snagging MLB.TV on Amazon Prime.
Here's the lowdown on how to transform yourself from a channel-flipping couch potato into a streaming samurai with MLB.TV at your fingertips:
Step 1: Prime and Proper (You Gotta Have Prime First)
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
This might seem like a no-brainer, but before you can dive headfirst into a world of baseball bliss, you'll need an active Amazon Prime membership. Think of it as your VIP pass to the MLB.TV party. Don't worry, though, Prime comes with a bunch of other perks, from free two-day shipping (because who doesn't love getting packages faster than a stolen base?) to a treasure trove of movies and TV shows to keep you entertained when there's a rain delay.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Channel Surfer (But Virtually This Time)
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Once you're a Prime member, head on over to the land of endless options: the Prime Video Channels section. This is where you get to pick and choose extra channels you want to add to your Prime membership, kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure for your viewing pleasure. And guess who's waiting there with a virtual mitt outstretched? MLB.TV!
