ESPN’s Buster Olney is reporting that Major League Baseball Officials are discussing a divisional and league realignment that would leave both the American League and National League with 15 teams. As a person that has been pushing this idea on friends and colleagues for years, I’m all for it.
As the Stanley Cup Finals wrapped up in Philadelphia last night, we in the television viewing audience got to witness another in a long series of disgraceful acts by Philly sports fans.
This is the fourth time in three years that the Phillies have been charged with sign-stealing. In 2007 the Mets accused the Phillies of setting up a center-field camera to steal signs. The Boston Red Sox made the same complaint in 2008. The Mets leveled another complaint against the Phillies after a May 2nd game this year. (Philadelphia was not caught stealing signs in 2009. A major victory for the team and the city.)
