Japanese star
pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani wants a shot at doing the same with an MLB team next
season, and Mets’ GM Sandy Alderson is in Ohtani’s corner. Alderson told the NYT this week that baseball
“is an entertainment business. The
foundation is baseball, but it’s entertainment.
To see someone with that kind of talent do what others have potentially
not been able to do, that would be an exciting experience for the team” and all
of baseball. “It’s going to be
fascinating.”
You know what would be
even better, Sandy? Instead of you and
all the other GMs falling over themselves to sign a player who gives no hint of
being able to do what he says he can at the major-league level, commit to
develop female baseball talent. That
would be exciting and fascinating and—oh, right—entertaining beyond
belief. But I won’t hold my breath for
it to happen anytime soon.
