Can they just call the World Series and be done with it, much like finishing a NASCAR race in a torrential downpour and giving the win to the leader? MLB and Bud Selig are Exhibit A for how to drive growth by suboptimizing the long-term future of the business. Costs and prices have skyrocketed since Selig took over through a steroid-fueled focus on corporate ticket sales at the expense of developing the young male market segment. Now you’re left with a sport that is more and more irrelevant in America. This used to be America’s past time, remember? Now, that mantle belongs to the NFL followed closely by college football. Is baseball even in the top ten past times that you have? Nowhere close for me.
On a slightly related tangent, does anyone care about the World Series of Poker final table here in the midst of football season? Anyone?

I care a helluva lot more about the WSOP final table than the World Series.
But I’ve been boycotting baseball since the ‘94 strike. Still waiting on that apology…
