If you’re a baseball fan, and seldom find yourself in front of your TV set at game time, Major League Baseball’s MLB.com At Bat 2010 is a must-have application. Available for Android, the iPhone/iPad, or BlackBerry, At Bat provides, “real-time scores, live audio, in-game highlights and more.” You have the ability to set your favorite team(s) — cough, Red Sox, cough — and receive push notifications when new video highlights, box scores, and/or a condensed game summary becomes available. As for live in-game audio, you have your choice of which audio feed you would like to hear, that of the home team or the opposing team. The audio quality is good — great with 3G, okay with 2G — although there is a 2-3 minute lag from the radio feed. Occasionally, we’ll be listening to the audio of a game in the 9th inning and get a push notification of the final score while the audio is still playing. At Bat definitely isn’t the cheapest app you’re going to have on your phone, priced at $14.99 (up from $9.99 last year), but with the addition of push notifications and an improved interface, we think baseball fans will agree it is worth its weight in gold.

This post is part of our “Live Like A Genius” content series sponsored by Buick and the all-new 2010 LaCrosse.
