Why not show the homerun?

Why not show the homerun? September 16, 2007

I don’t get it. I’m watching the Yankees/Bosox game on ESPN. Derek Jeter hit a monster three-run homer – way over the wall, something you just don’t see enough in Fenway Park.

So far ESPN has shown the homerun twice more…and both times, they showed the DUGOUT reaction, instead of the soaring home run every fan of baseball (well, except a Bosox fan) would want to see again.

I can see doing that once. But twice? Showing the team cheering instead of the home run?

I don’t get it. I don’t claim to know the tv biz, but…just seems like an odd choice to make – twice – to me.

UPDATE: Yankees win, but a nerve-wracking 9th. I love and hate this game.
