MLB Extra Innings coming to FiOS TV

At least it sounds like that might be the case. According to the Verizon FiOS Policy Blog:

We are currently working with MLB Extra Innings and we’re optimistic that we’ll begin offering the package soon. It won’t be everywhere, all at once unfortunately, but we are working hard to get MLB EI on FiOS TV for as many fans as we can as soon as possible.

This sounds promising. Baseball fans who don't live in the market where their team plays (like...me) will have to hope that the "won't be everywhere" part doesn't apply to them. More than likely the limited availability has to do with Verizon's bandwidth issues - the same ones that are keeping us waiting for an expanded HD lineup. For that reason, I'm not holding my breath on the games being available in HD, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
