Fall/Winter Classic

So the Yanks have evened the World Series but it is now almost Halloween, is the Fall Classic set to become the set up for Thanksgiving? Will a player no longer be able to earn the moniker of "Mr October" but now it will be "Mr Novemeber"? There is a major storm about to hit Colorado, had they gotten into the series would we have to wait weeks before the series could resume? Playing on snow dusted fields has been reserved for the rough and tumble of football, not the sublime nuances of america's past time. Next year Minnesota is moving from a covered dome to an outdoor stadium. Both the Twins and the Rockies were contenders this year, if they got in to the series we could be having to wait for the weather to clear and see games after the turkey leftovers are long gone. All of this is because major league baseball has aquiesed to the desires of television to have the games played during tv's prime time slots. I think that the game, if it is truly America's past time and not the financial generator of a media conglomerate, needs to be given back to the fans in it's traditional format. That is, play the regular season, have playoffs and then the world series without extra days off so TV can garner a Sat night viewership. If we do not give the game back to the fans as it has been since Abner Doubleday started throwing the ball around, we will be left to have to move the World Series games from the home team stadiums and place them in a dome somewhere so the winter weather does not interfere with a television broadcast and the cities involved will lose the comradarie that envelopes a town when their team is playing for them. that would be a shame.
