Dr. Doug's Big, Fat Baseball Adventure tag:,2008-03-29:/1343 2007-07-11T04:10:25Z I'm Dr. Doug, the guy with the camera on his cap and a wireless laptop on his back, streaming live video from the 2007 All-Star festivities. This is the FIRST-EVER way for fans to experience a major sports event over the Internet as if they're actually there in person. To view my MLB.com-licensed fancast, just visit SportsJunkie.tv. Movable Type 4.14-en-trunk--20080321 Great, great time... tag:fancast.mlblogs.com,2007://1343.42522 2007-07-11T01:48:59Z 2007-07-11T04:10:25Z livecast http://www.sportsjunkie.tv Well folks, just finished another exciting day of streaming All-Star festivities. However, unlike previous days, this one marks the end of my "Big, Fat, Baseball Adventure." I can tell you, though, that this has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From meeting former Giant great Will Clark (one of my heroes) to racing my son Travis down the Coke slide at AT&T Park, to actually having the American League team come within a hair's breath of me this afternoon, the last six days have been ones I'll never forget.

However, what has truly made this a unique and wonderful experience is the fact that I was able to bring all of this to you! As you all know, by watching and chatting with me, you were taking part in the world's first Fancast, and that's just awesome. I want to thank all of you out there who have been watching, especially those who I had a chance to meet in the chat room. It's because of you folks that I think we managed to build a community even in just a matter of days. I actually had the opportunity to meet some of you in person which was really cool.

I also want to send out a very special thanks to the good folks at MLB.com who made this all possible.

Let me add that while I've always loved baseball, this experience has made me appreciate the game - and its fans - that much more.

Anyway, I better get back to the game so I'm going to sign off. However, before I do, I'll leave you with a few nuggets below from today's pre-game festivities.

Thanks to all of you again and be well!

Let me show you the All-Star festivities now


Img_3880 I spotted one of my favorite former players, Rickey Henderson, and didn't miss the opportunity to meet him. From 7:39 pm on Sunday.

Go to the SportsJunkie.tv site, and under the red News Feed bar, click on the link called New. Then click on the link called "Meeting Rickey Henderson."

And it was an unbelievable time at the MLB.com bash late Sunday night at the '33 Club. Hope you enjoyed being taken in there with unparalleled access -- the first of its kind. Did you catch that interview with Alyssa Milano on the red carpet? A Dodger fan in SF.

We will have access for the State Farm Home Run Derby tonight and for the 78th All-Star Game on Tuesday. See it all at:
