The rest of the article is interesting, but in my opinion the best part was right at the end, and completely unrelated to the rest of the article:
Selig, in perhaps his most disingenuous moment of the entire press conference, said, “These fans obviously came and bought tickets for a night game, so they deserve to come back and see a night game.” Right. Because the scheduling of World Series games is done taking into account, first and foremost, the convenience of the attendees. Because fans have demanded 8:30 local time starts for years. Because when World Series games are played in the Pacific time zone, MLB gives a rip about those people’s work schedules. The game will be a night game because Fox says so, and for Selig to sit there and say what he said insults everyone’s intelligence. Just be honest and say that the game will be a night game because MLB doesn’t control its own scheduling. As if the city of Philadelphia, and people holding tickets wouldn’t be perfectly happy with a 7 p.m. start. Or 2 p.m. Or 9 a.m. That comment, to me, was the worst thing said last night, and goes a long way toward letting the world know who runs baseball.
