Selig, Baseball Have So Much to Learn

And now for Bud Selig’s next big endeavor: replacing the World Series with a World Championship Series, or WCS. Bud and his cronies could use confidential numbers--maybe the ones he couldn’t share with Congress--to create computer rankings that select the WCS participants.

I can see it now: The Brewers end up No. 1 while the Yankees mysteriously leapfrog teams into a No. 2 ranking and WCS playoff. And, meanwhile, no owners will be permitted to comment on the process for fear of $1-million fines.

Ah, baseball, America’s pastime. Or just America’s past?

The solution to the problem of major league baseball being in the red is easy. Because baseball is just as important to the country as the airline industry, the federal government should bail out baseball too.
