LA PORTE, Ind. (AP) — Major League Baseball shows what can be done right when it comes to making its games available on the Internet. It also underscores frustrations fans have with online sports coverage in general: The business of sports is set up to feed TV sets, and Internet viewers are an afterthought.

Television channels pay a lot for rights to cover games, and they don’t want to lose audiences to computers or mobile apps. As a result, fans who pay $20 or more a month for baseball’s online video package, MLB.TV, are blocked from games involving hometown teams.
