We’re Eric, Natalie, and Gabby, and we all live in the Indianapolis metropolitan area of the United States. We all love sports — especially minor league sports.
We believe that fans want to be entertained watching sporting events while also understanding what’s going on during the contest at any given time. We know that athletes want video evidence of their performances. We also know that minor league teams and small businesses and organizations aren’t exactly rolling in cash.
So here we are.
Whether you want us to help you out once or long-term, we can likely work something out without destroying your budget. And your team or organization will gain valuable exposure to help build your fanbase — and make you money! — over time.
We may be Minotaurs, but we’re no bull and no pressure when talking services, prices, quality, and our desire for you to succeed within your budget, so holler at us to see what we can do for you!
Things We Will Not Do
When we live stream an athletic competition, we have some things that we will not do during a broadcast:
- We will not curse. We want kids to be able to enjoy the game, too.
- We will not share sensitive injury or strategy information about either team. We may say that an athlete is “banged up,” but we will not say that s/he has a torn calf muscle that requires surgery and is lost for the season (unless that athlete and team say it’s okay to report).
- We will not disparage any team. We work hard to make our broadcasts enjoyable for fans of both teams, no matter who hires us. No one likes to watch a one-sided, biased game broadcast.
- We will not hold the camera on a significantly injured athlete, nor will we show replays of any significant injury. Nothing is gained by watching an athlete writhe in pain or a joint bend the opposite way that it’s supposed to, and that athlete deserves as much dignity and privacy as we can give them.
Eric
Eric is our game announcer, logo designer, graphic designer, website builder, and social media guy. He is known for his absurd sense of humor and hyena laugh, as well as his loud bursts of excitement throughout games. He is a huge fan of good sportsmanship and will often point it out during broadcasts as he sees it.
Eric played football, baseball, softball, volleyball, and ran track way back when he’d ride his triceratops to school. Nowadays, he’s a huge hockey and minor league basketball fan. He attended the Indiana Lyons‘ very first game of their ABA franchise history on Nov. 3, 2018. The Lyons beat Team Network by a score of 104-97, and Eric has been hooked on ABA basketball ever since.
He served as Director of Communications for the Indiana Lyons of the ABA for five seasons from 2019 to 2024, handling their website, social media and other communications. What began as impromptu excited and sometimes funny outbursts by Eric while doing otherwise uncalled Facebook Live game videos quickly turned into him serving as the play-by-play commentator for the Lyons for five years.
He also called the 2023 ABA Midwest Region Final Four, the 2024 ABA Central Region Red Division playoffs, the 2024 ABA Central Region playoffs, a 2025 ABA Central Region Red Division Semifinal Game in the playoffs, the 2025 ABA Central Region Red Division Championship Game, a 2026 ABA Central Region Blue Division Semifinal Game, and the 2025-26 ABA Championship Weekend games in Atlanta.
He’s been building websites since 2010, and his graphics for the Lyons were often used by the ABA throughout the 2022-23 ABA Final Eight tournament on social media and at the gym where the tourney was played.
A large number of his graphics, including the official brackets, were used by the ABA throughout the 2025-26 ABA Playoffs.
Natalie
Natalie is Eric’s oldest daughter and is a 2024 graduate of Danville Community High School. She is studying Speech Pathology at Ball State University.
Natalie played recreational and travel softball for 14 years, and she ran track. Her specialty was the 400M. Throughout her softball career, she played every position on the field, but she is best known for her prowess as a catcher, second baseman, and outfielder. In one game, she turned an unassisted triple play.
She also played a year of varsity high school softball and lettered.
In her spare time, she likes to help out by controlling the cameras or graphics during games. As she has availability throughout a season, she helps with games, as she has done for as long as Eric has been calling games.
Gabby
Gabby is Eric’s youngest daughter and is a 2025 graduate of Danville Community High School. She is a student at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, studying Civil Engineering.
Gabby played recreational soccer and softball growing up, and she played varsity tennis in high school, competing in both singles and doubles, and lettering.
Like her sister, she enjoys helping out by controlling the cameras or graphics during games, as she has done for as long as Eric has been calling games. You may see her from time to time at games, depending on when she’s home from college.
