As if Mike Piazza himself were blocking the home page, many fans couldn't access the site's live online broadcasts. MLB.com officials say an epidemic of baseball fever prompted a surge of traffic, which essentially brought the site to its knees. Too many hits and too many errors, basically. Red Sox fans will love this -- MLB.com says most of the visitors were Yankees fans! They were logging on in droves because many of them can't watch their prized pinstripers on TV, thanks to a contract dispute.
