Baseball Fans: Watching a Game Is More Fun When Fans Play Too

MENLO PARK, Calif. - March 11, 2013 - PRLog -- The Major League Baseball season is right around the corner and fans are more likely than ever to watch a game with a smartphone or tablet at hand.  Now, is the perfect time for fans to get great apps to make watching baseball even better.   Fans are already playing Baseball Outs this spring.  Baseball Outs is a mini-fantasy baseball game fans play with friends when they watch a game.  It makes watching baseball more fun for everyone from serious fans, to casual fans, to kids because with Baseball Outs fans don’t just watch the game, they get to play too!  

Baseball Outs (www.baseballouts.com) is a game fans play with friends when they watch a baseball game.  To play fans pick the players in the field each half-inning to form their teams. Fans get credit when one of their players records an out. If their players record two outs, they win the half-inning!  The winner gets one point from each person they are playing with. Baseball Outs makes it easy to see who is winning and losing points. Fans can use the points for bragging rights or to see who buys the peanuts and Cracker Jack.  Whether fans are watching on TV, in the bleachers, upper deck or box seats, watching a baseball game is more fun when fans play too!  Baseball Outs is available for iPhone, iPad and Android phones.

Baseball Outs is great fun for everyone.  Serious fans get into the strategy of picking players in the field based on who is pitching and who is coming up to bat.  Consider player tendencies.  Pull hitter?  Yes.  Ground ball pitcher?  Yes.  Odds are the ball is going to be hit to the third base side of the field, so pick the third-baseman.  Casual fans hang on the outcome of every at bat.  When they pick players in the game to form their team all of a sudden they are into the game!  Kids love playing too. They’ll be glued to their seats and following every at bat.  That’s great news for parents who won’t have to leave early because the kids are bored or wander around the stadium entertaining the kids.  

Fans are making Baseball Outs part of their springtime tradition.  “Baseball Outs makes every game feel like the playoffs. My friends and I really get into each at bat when we play,” said Alex Rubin, a San Francisco Giants season ticket holder.  Diana Sunshine, a baseball fan and mother of two said, “my kids love to play Baseball Outs and I love it too because when they play we all get to sit and really watch the game.”

“We’re building apps for games we play when we watch sports. Baseball Outs, our first game, was dreamed up in the bleachers.  My friends and kids are enjoying baseball even more this year now that the app makes it easy to play Baseball Outs,” said Bill Onderdonk, the developer of Baseball Outs.
