Bat boys are part of every MLB game, but what if fans could be virtually transported to the baseball diamond, watch a game from their perspective via Snapchat Spectacles and see what it’s like to be an arms length away from professional athletes? It’s a scenario that the Cleveland Indians social team showcased on Tuesday night during the team’s 7-5 loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“Now we’re on Snapchat,” remarked designated hitter/first baseman Carlos Santana as he grabbed Spectacles from one of the bat boys and appeared to put on the eyeglasses, which wirelessly sends 10-second clips to users’ accounts.
