I would think that the reason the MLB footage was used was for more appeal to youth and men. Watching a video of Mike Piazza or Jeff Supan talk is one thing, but I guess the impact is greater when you see someone whack a home run over a fence and then turn around and something along the lines of "Without God, a homerun would be meaningless". I was going to buy the DVD to use in catechesis and youth ministry, but that "contact us about showing to large groups" really turned me off. In Christ, Travis P.S.

You can’t just by the DVD and show it to a group. Travis - thanks for pointing that out. I had missed that and I agree with you. I can see that this should be the case of for-profit ventures but it seems to me that MLB is being overly restrictive with this. Having seen this, I wonder about the utility of such a product. >> The only problem is that if you want to show it to a group of catechism students, or your parish, or youth program in general, you are supposed to obtain a “license” for multiple viewers.

You can't just by the DVD and show it to a group. This is very discouraging that a product like this would be made, and then because MLB footage is used, you would have to jump through a hoop to do it the right way. Just had to get that off my chest. BTW, if you like Catholic Videos, I started a new vlog called Catholic Tube. Check it out at http://www.catholic-tube.com.
