great ux: espn and mlb

i remembered watching the super-bowl via esp.com and even mentioned my experience in a previous post.  well, tonight espn proves to be a winner for me again.  while watching the and randy johnson stomp on colorado, i moved to espn.com and their gamecast view...it is incredible.  i didn't have a tv nearby, so i have no idea how out-of-sync it was, but the play-by-play visuals were great, down to the diamond being the shape of the field where they are playing...here's a shot:

when a ball is hit, they even have an animated baseball going in the direction of the play and everything...well done crew, well done.  i know where i'll be peripherally watching from now on...espn.com gamecast!

    The gamecast from mlb.com is actually probably better. As for being out of sync, figure it to be about 30 seconds to a minute or more back (on complex plays like double plays or what not). I have used gamecast from ESPN and the MLB counterpart for years to keep track of the Red Sox when at work or without TV coverage.
