Ok, I'm not a baseball fan, but I listen to sports radio all the time and I haven't heard anyone make this point, so I'm going to make it.Has anyone ever heard of major league baseball doing so many wacky things in preseason?
- Billy Crystal a Yankee for a day
- Opening day game in Japan
- And now some crazy game in LA with a left field fence about 3 steps behind the third baseman.

so what's the deal with the la game? i hadn't heard that one. i do, however, think you're right that they are trying to divert attention from all the negative publicity that they have suffered.
that said how cool is it that a fan should get a chance to play for his boyhood team, even if that fan is billy crystal? i'd love to make one appearance with the cubs in a spring training game!!

Yeah, it's a very cool idea. Who wouldn't want to be a major leaguer for a day? Now I wonder if it's going to turn into every team doing it in preseason and giving it away in drawings, etc.
America's favorite past time has flat-lined and it will take far mroe than a PR campaign to revive it. I would equate it to using air freshner after a bowel movement. All it does is add a floral scent to well you know....
