ESPN: Welcome to The Information Age

ESPN takes a close look at how technology is changing the game... of course this evolution goes well beyond baseball...

Players have loads of information at their fingertips these days, like these heat maps from TruMedia.

If you think that's how baseball games are decided nowadays, it's very possible you're still listening to music on a "record player." And running all over town trying to buy "film" for your camera. And looking up numbers in a "phone book."

Friends, we just don't live on that planet anymore. And neither does the beautiful sport of baseball -- no matter how unchanged it may look from afar on your old black-and-white TV "set."
