I have a problem with calling a guy who more than tripled revenue in a so called dying sport a joke...
I don't like him but he has made baseball more prosperous than any commish has done for a sport, outside of maybe Tagliabue.
Ticket sales have sky rocketed and TV-ratings have gone way up.
Good points brought up in this thread...
The Wild Card was brilliant
Inter-league play is great
He has brought a lot of revolutionary things to the game. His problem is that he is a horrific public speaker and doesn't face adversity very well. He never knows whether to take the politically correct side or the side he feels is right and that gets him in trouble. Honestly, although I hate to admit this, steroids saved baseball. If they get rid of them the fans will still be there but steroids brought them back.
