Our national sport: Making money.

Baseball is really a summer game. Designed to be played in mild and hot weather. Not in wintry conditions. But the modern baseball moguls sponsor baseball for the purpose of making money. Lots of money. So they extend the baseball season. And play at night. In the coldest of conditions. Which significantly harms the quality of baseball. But it rakes in TV revenue. Money. Money. Money. That's our national sport. The making of money. Not baseball. --Jim Broede

The baseball playoff game in Denver tonight is being played in barely above freezing temperature. It could just as easily be played in the afternoon in somewhat warmer conditions. But no, it has to be played at night in order to get more TV revenue. More money. --Jim
