Thinking about Meerkating or using Periscope during MLB games? Not so fast.
Major League Baseball teams will be on the lookout for fans using the live streaming apps during games, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
"Fans don't have the right to emulate the game. Live streaming doesn't change that," Bob Bowman, president of business and media at MLB, told the Journal. "We'll be watching to see how it's used and when."
Nevertheless, curtailing the use of Meerkat, Periscope or any other live-streaming app could prove to be a difficult one.

However, he added that he had not figured out exactly how to curtail the activity.
