Let's take it to the next level: to limit travel and time zone hopping divide things up into four geographically-aligned independent leagues with no interleague play until the postseason. Start with 8-team leagues and eventually expand to 12 or 14.
In other words, let's dramatically exacerbate the affordability crisis by transitioning the costs of all kinds of services from relatively well-off older people to young folks with families.
It's funny the owners of the 1920s-30s wanted to own all the minor league players, to the point that they made the minors absolutely subservient. When some franchises were worth <$1M.
Today with franchises over $1B the take is "costs too much, can we get rid of all this?"
"These proposals that owners are making, it's almost as if they're operating like the sport is broke."

Here’s a little US Soccer history for you guys. Between 1921 and 1934, the United States had the 3rd biggest soccer league in the world behind the English 1st division, and the Scottish 1st division. The league was primarily played in the northeast and featured teams like the Bethlehem Steel, Bohemian Queens, Boston Soccer Club, and it was insanely popular and at the time was the most popular sport in the northeast. It attracted some of the biggest names in the sport for the time, as well as immigrants, and first generation kids. But because of the great depression, obviously folks couldn’t afford to feed themselves or their families, let alone attend games. The league folded, and soccer barely survived in the passing decades. #USSoccer
Except nobody is building affordable housing in remote rural areas without jobs. Your ridge will be sold to mining, drilling , fracking, ranching, or similar corporations for exploitation and their financial gain, while cutting off public access.
Whenever I hike this ridge, I think to myself: “This would be so much better if it was covered in affordable housing.”
Thank you @BasedMikeLee.

Okay, now I get it. I'll just stop now, there's no arguing with that perspective. And I don't really have a schoolyard insult that matches up with anal...ytics.
In any case, I'll be very happy when Hyde wins Manager of the Year. Rarely has a case been so cut-and-dried.

When you take your four-year-old to the 2012 playoffs for the first postseason game at Camden Yards in 15 years you have to take a photo in front of Brooksie's statue. Brooks Robinson is Baltimore.

🇬🇱 After 2 years of pandemic-enforced cancellations, the Greenlandic Football Championship - the shortest season in world football - returns this week.
How does it work? Where? And who takes part? We take a look with the help of some people with first-hand experience.

Sitting here in the USA, watching regular old Hulu and right there is TSV 1860 München available to watch. Since 2005 Die Löwen on US TV is rare. It's a good day. 🦁
