Hey baseball fans! Today the regular season of Major League Baseball gets under way – so what better time to explore the official app of the league, MLB.com At Bat 12? It’s loaded with tons of near real-time features, so on the sad occasions when you can’t get out to the ballpark, you can take the game with you on your BlackBerry® smartphone.

True baseball fans know that to follow along with the game while on the go, you need information as it happens. MLB.com At Bat 12 features home and away live game radio broadcasts, so no matter where you are, you can keep your ear to the pulse of your team.

MLB.com At Bat 12 also comes loaded with up-to-the-minute scores and news from around the league, but I personally enjoy the pitch-by-pitch tracker so I can see what’s going on as it happens. You can customize push notifications that let you know when the game is starting and ending, and get alerts for scores and game-changing plays.

Speaking of those big-time highlights, in-progress video updates let you view the magic, right from your BlackBerry smartphone.

MLB.com At Bat 12 is also your one-stop shop for complete coverage and information, displaying breaking news, standings schedules, rosters and statistics. The only thing missing? Peanuts and popcorn.

If you’re like me and you need to stay tuned in to the boys of summer all season long, then you definitely need to consider having this app in your rotation. Click here to purchase it on the BlackBerry App World™ storefront.

Well, this post is rounding third and heading for home. Tell us who your favorite MLB team is and how far you think they’ll go this year! (BTW, if you haven’t guessed, for me it’s the Toronto Blue Jays all the way!)
