MLB.com is the official site of Major League Baseball and is overseen by Major League Baseball Advanced Media, L.P. (a subsidiary of MLB). MLB.com is a source of baseball-related information, including baseball news, statistics, and sports columns. MLB.com is also a commercial site, providing online streaming video and streaming audio broadcasts of all Major League Baseball games to paying subscribers, as well as "gameday", a near-live streaming box score of baseball games for free. In addition, MLB.com sells official baseball merchandise, allows users to buy tickets to baseball games, runs fantasy baseball leagues (both free and paid), and runs auctions of baseball memorabilia. In association with HB Studios, MLB.com has also developed recent R.B.I. Baseball installments.
MLB.com also contains the full, unabridged, official rules of the game.
MLB.tv is an American subscription based audio and video service which through two different service tiers allows users to hear and watch HD quality Major League Baseball games live via a high-speed Internet connection. Both MLB.tv Basic and MLB.tv Premium subscribers receive In-Game highlights and stats, Live game DVR control, Mosaic view, Full Game Archives, Audio overlay (Away radio audio overlay is available to MLB.tv Premium subscribers only), Pitch by Pitch widget, Clickable linescores and Fantasy player tracker. MLB.tv basic subscribers can only view and hear the service using their desktop or laptop computer whereas MLB.tv Premium subscribers can in addition to their computer have access to audio and video using their mobile device such as Android or iOS devices through a free subscription to the At-Bat mobile app and through certain connected devices including smart televisions, Blu-ray players, TiVo DVRs, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4.
Starting with the 2012 season MLB.tv Premium has begun a service called Audio Overlay which allows the user to replace the video's home or away audio with the audio feed from the home or away radio feed (Away team audio overlay is only available to MLB.TV Premium subscribers) or Park which removes all audio commentary and lets the viewer hear the ball park's natural sounds. As with MLB's Extra Innings cable and satellite television service normal blackout restrictions will apply where applicable, see below.
