Technology Aiding Fans in Following Teams

Many sports teams are using the new era of technology and social media to enhance the experience for players, families and fans alike. The KingCo baseball conference is no different, with a number of teams using Twitter, live stat sites or both to allow more people to follow the action. I have been using these sites to follow along with games and thought I'd put together a compilation of all that I know about in case there are others interested in following the action (when there is actual baseball being played!!). If there are any other social media or "GameCast" type sites for KingCo teams, please pass them along in an e-mail.

(FYI, in case you hadn't noticed, there is a link to all KingCo baseball web sites on the right hand side of the page - you can find a ton of information on many of these sites as well...)
