There are still tickets available for the two Yankees-Red Sox games that are to be re-enacted live in the virtual world of Second Life tonight and Sunday. The games are being arranged for MLB.com by the Electric Sheep Company (sponsors of this blog), and seem to be the first major league games to be “virtualized” in a world like SL. MLB.com and the Sheep previously put on the Home Run Derby in Second Life, an event that proved to be a pretty entertaining excuse to get together and socialize, for those who showed. Yankees-Red Sox is a serious rivalry, though, and it’ll be interesting to see whether these games lean more toward sports fans or more toward Second Life residents interested in getting in on the novelty factor. Either way, it should be a good ol’ time at the virtual ballpark. Get your tickets at SLBoutique.
