JP_Frost Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I tried entering the mlb pressbox site and after logging in with my mlb.com account, it asked me for a job title and which media I worked for (magazine, internet, etc). So it seems that we'll need to find a way around that or hope that this is just a temporary thing. Even the high-res snapshot thread trick (repeat that after a few drinks) didn't work. This is bad news for cyberface, portrait and uniform makers in particular and I guess for fans in general. Why they did this is beyond me.

MarkB Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 "MLB" and "secure site" shouldn't be in the same sentence. At best for them, it's restricted access. I applied for an account, but got denied. I guess they don't see a need for an I.T. guy to want pressbox photos. :( Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/37726-no-more-mlb-pressbox/#findComment-557061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonj92 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I won't say I don't have an account that works. And perhaps could procure any pic you guys want for cyberfaces. And for portraits, with kraw's maker, I could pretty much do them all myself. I might recruit a select few.

JP_Frost Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 well, if you could find a way to provide me with some Indians pics, I'd be a very happy camper. I actually wanted to know if they had updated them already and if guys like Kobayashi, Lewis and the ST invitees had an accesible pic, just to get ready to make some faces.

I'm not sure about the ST invitees JP, but Lewis and Kobayashi aren't updated yet.

tebjr Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not that I can tell. Kerry Wood is still in a Cubs' uniform. I know none of the Braves have been updated.

JP_Frost Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not that I can tell. Kerry Wood is still in a Cubs' uniform. I know none of the Braves have been updated. ah, okay, so that means they probably haven't updated them yet. They took quite a while last year and some players like Kobayashi were never updated. btw, did you guys find a loophole to access the site or is it because of your job?

erf305 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just sign up as a media member with phony information, that's how I became a member. It took about a day to get the confirmation though, if anyone needs any high-res shots just PM me.

JP_Frost Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 yeah, I tried the same thing, but the information I filled in wasn't correct (phoine number, etc). However, a certain santa claus was so nice to privide me with pics.
