You might think I’d want to go
after the Tribune for devoting the back page of today’s sports’ section to
football (80 percent Bears, 20 percent to something called the AAF, a new
league already gone belly up), but that would be just more of the same. We shouldn’t repeat ourselves, too much,
especially when there’s talk about MLB and expansion.
The subject has been kicking
around the last few months for reasons that me.
Take baseball in Florida (please).
That dog don’t hunt. Yesterday,
the Rays drew 10,933 fans for their game against the Rockies. And the Marlins? Why, they packed in 5,934 faithful to watch
the Fish lose to the Mets, 6-5. This
comes after Marlins’ CEO Derek Jeter saying in an interview the team has made
progress in reconnecting with fans. I
don’t think so, Derek.
I never get tired of pointing out
how the White Sox threatened to move to Tampa back in the late 1980s if they
didn’t get a publicly built stadium.
Dumb politicians, greedy owner, clueless baseball establishment. The commissioner needs to find new homes for
the Marlins and Rays before taking on the question of expansion. But I won’t hold my breath.
