Major League Baseball Continues To Experiment With Second Life

From The Street.com the details on MLB's latest efforts in the virtual world of Second Life.
Take Me Out to the Virtual Ballgame:

"'As a platform, we're fascinated by the technology,' said Justin Shaffer, senior vice president of New Media with MLB.com. 'It's an entire new way to interact online with a portion of our fans that are more technologically savvy.'

True to the real-life struggle of getting a seat to witness the rivalry first hand in real time, only 45 game tickets were made available for each of the September games at the price of $500 in the SL currency, called Linden. Currently, one U.S. dollar is worth roughly 273 Linden."
