Away From The Play

One of the goals of our telecast is to show the viewers something the fans in the stands don't see. The best time and place for this is between innings in the dugout. However, the most rewarding time for the TV crew is during action on the field. The Cardinals started a player at second base tonight. This player hadn't played that position since he was 13 years old. We iso'd him throughout the game and we captured a great sequence in the first inning when we aired a split screen of this player and the infielder's coach as he was positioning the player. Immediately after every pitch the player looked over at the coach. Capturing moments away from the play can be very rewarding. Last night's game/telecast proved this point.
