Baseball fans fume at MLB’s ‘Field of Dreams’ game decision, reporter Tricia Whitaker has a boat day & LLWS!

Fox News · 2 months ago

A Fox Sports/OutKick "Nightcaps" column notes that baseball fans, including TV personality Pat Sajak, have criticised Major League Baseball's decision to move its annual Field of Dreams game from Fox to Netflix this year. Fans argue it is ironic and inconvenient that a nostalgic, small-town-themed event now requires a paid streaming subscription to watch, marking the game's debut on Netflix after its launch on Fox in 2021.

The Phillies-Twins matchup, played in Iowa, is the first Field of Dreams game to air exclusively on Netflix following last year's broadcast rights negotiations. Viewers now need a Netflix subscription costing between $8.99 a month (with adverts) and $27 a month for an ad-free 4K tier, prompting widespread online complaints, including from 79-year-old broadcaster Pat Sajak. The column also touches on other sports and entertainment items, including notable moments from Little League World Series regional games and a social outing involving Apple TV reporter Tricia Whitaker.
