Your TVs are all crooked
Posted by Dan Novick
This morning, River Ave. Blues linked to this video (posted below) which explains the visual difference between center and off-center camera angles. The video camera angle we usually see on a broadcast is not very close to straight on, and it makes us see pitches and location differently than we should be seeing them:
If I owned a team like the Yankees which owns (part of) the YES Network, I would try and make these camera locations possible for every game.
Dan Novick is a lifelong Yankees fan, and still gets the chills every time Enter Sandman plays from the Yankee Stadium speakers. He welcomes comments and questions via e-mail.

This dumb video hardly tells baseball fans anything. Is it not obvious that the camera angle is not dead center and that it therefore alters the perception of the pitch?
They could have just said this: FOX will try to have a dead center camera for playoff games.
That’s the news. A two second blip.
