This serves as just the latest example of sports organizations recognizing the major shift in how fans are consuming media in the digital age, and adapting to fit those ever changing trends.

With fans increasingly moving away from traditional broadcast options such as cable and satellite, we've seen just about every major network move towards the subscription based streaming model.

Along with San Francisco, fans of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox will be able to purchase a similar subscription as well, as both teams media rights are currently owned by their respective NBC affiliates.

With the MLB continuing to focus on expanding the reach of the sport to a wider audience, options like this are sure to put a smile on the face of everybody at the League Office.
