Baseball Woes

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sportsbusiness/news/story?id=1795742 As part of a marketing alliance between Major League Baseball Properties, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, webbed logos of the upcoming film "Spider-Man 2" will appear on bases and on-deck circles in 15 stadiums of teams playing host to interleague games June 11-13. Alas. Baseball, already losing its edge as "America's Game" to football, tainted by drug scandals, now decides to advertise on its bases. The point that sports are driven by money and nothing else is utterly trivial, yet somehow baseball manages to reach new lows. I can't wait until I root for the Seattle "Red-Lobster-Shrimp-for-only-$19.95" Mariners.
