Major League Baseball voluntarily ended a game in a tie last night.
That maneuver is such an amazingly appropriate symbol of everything wrong with baseball that it’s hard to fathom how it came off so smoothly.
I’m going to compile a list here of the best editorial screeds telling baseball what the players and owners need, but refuse, to hear about the state of its sport:
~ Feeling cheated? Get used to it, Jim Caple, ESPN.com
~ Baseball’s All-Stall Break (mentioned here yesterday), Dave Anderson, The New York Times
~ The Strike That Will Kill Baseball, Charles Krauthammer, The Washington Post
Know another one? Send it along.
