Widescreen HD became the new standard for TV in the 2000s. Chances are, you entered that decade looking at a 4:3 SD screen and exited it with a 16:9 HDTV in your living room. This effected pretty much all programming on television, as TV embraced wider, more cinematic aspect ratios.

This transition rocked the sports world. Suddenly, football, basketball, hockey, and soccer broadcasts could show more of the field with more detail. The same could be said about baseball, but as you'll learn in this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, baseball had less to gain comparatively speaking.
