Apple streamed its first live MLB game in Vision Pro Immersive on Aug 28, Yankees vs Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The feed is a separate 8K production with about a 180-degree field of view, spatial audio, and dedicated announcers, not a TV wrap. Three more September dates remain. The $3,500–$4,100 headset, weight, and battery life still keep it niche. Claims about lapsed fans sitting through a full game are Brodie Brazil's read, not Apple's.

Justin Ryan's Aug 29 Spatial Insiders hands-on is the firsthand tape Brazil cites. The immersive feed is a separate 8K production with about a 180-degree field of view, spatial audio, and a floating jumbotron for the conventional broadcast, score, and replays. Brazil has not worn Vision Pro for this game.

Michael Simon's Aug 31 Macworld recap covers the same Aug 28 immersive broadcast. Headset weight, battery life over a three-hour game, and a $3,500–$4,100 Vision Pro still keep it niche. Whether cheaper or lighter hardware arrives before this is more than a $4k novelty is still ahead.
