No Tom, you're wrong! We don't need the greedy franchises to survive. We can have parity and still have the game. People will come Tom. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again, but BASEBALL has marked the time. This game is a part of our past Tom. It reminds us of all that once was good...and it could be again. Oohh, people will come Tom. People will most definitely come!

Let me toss this out there. The Commissioner doesn't want parity. For the sake of TV ratings in the playoffs he wants the Red Sox and Yankees to consistenly do well. World Series ratings rebound from '08 record low (AP) - 16 hours ago NEW YORK - World Series television ratings bounced back from last year's record lows. The Yankees' six-game victory over the Phillies on Fox averaged an 11.7 rating and 19 share. That's the highest since a 15.8/26 in 2004, when the Red Sox swept the Cardinals to end an 86-year championship drought. It's up 39 percent from the record-low 8.4/14 for the 2008 Phillies-Rays series. Fox said Thursday that was the biggest one-year increase ever. Game 6 on Wednesday night earned a 13.4/22. The rating is the percentage of households with televisions tuned to a program. The share is the percentage of homes watching among those with TVs in use at the time.
