Yea bunch of ****ing scrubs. They only got us to the World Series.
MLB right now is loving the NFL scandal. They have been trying to regain the throne of top dog since the strikes/lockouts in the 80s/90s and they are seeing their chance. MLB executives have to be thanking their lucky stars for a World Series like this, it is exactly what is needed to pull even more fans their way. They have a ways to go, but MLB is starting to grow the fan base again and it is at the expense of the NFL's political grandstanding.Yogi said:

Yes, baseball can rip your heart right out of your chest, but it certainly is more American and more welcoming than the politically-charged, politically correct, player-kneeling Anti-National Football League.
I realized last night that baseball is the pinnacle in the evolution of the human game. It moved beyond the rectangular playing field and removed the clock entirely.
Baseball is a game of man vs. man, and yet team vs. team at the same time. On the one hand, it's a dual between the batter and the pitcher, like an old Western shootout. At the same time, it is a team sport that gets even better as the teams draw closer together. It is a game that thrives off statistics and is effected by superstition. It is a game that can be played anywhere by anyone and has a minor league system like no other.
There are no politics. There are no personal statements. There is just baseball, hotdogs and enjoyment by everyone from the players on the field to the fans in the stands.
It is America's greatest pastime because it actually is a pastime and it is authentically American.
I see why my grandpa so adored this game.
Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. I watched my first game in third grade, as that was when we got our first TV. Loved the game from that beginning and still do. Have seen better games, but the excitement level last night was high to the extreme.Yogi said:

Doesn't hurt the MLB that the Final Four came from New York, LA, Chicago and Houston, the four largest cities in the nation and the #1,2,3 and 8 television markets.sahen said:MLB right now is loving the NFL scandal.

I think the best game I ever saw was back in 1985. Mets rookie Haden Siddhartha Finch was pitching for the NY team against the Reds in early April - I think it was around the 1st. Some offbeat scout had found Finch and brought him right up to the majors as it was the end of the season. They gave him a locker next to George Foster and Daryl Strawberry.Nguyen One Soon said:Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.
