Baseball's Squeeze Pay

With the three kids keeping me hopping, I guess this kind of thing just sort of slipped past me.
Baseball Needs DRM Like It Needs a Steroids Scandal
So to follow a local team you're either listening to the radio, or you're paying $60+/month to cable? When did this happen? I used to be able to watch Red Sox games growing up on WSBK TV 38 for nothing. Ok the reception kind of stunk, and I had to delicately balance the UHF dial in the zone between 38 and 39, and occasionally it would flop over to one side or the other and turn the screen to white fuzz. But it *was* free. My TV will go out on the stoop with the trash before I pay $60/month in cable fees.
