Geez, now that's a scary thought. I'd like to think not but your point about MLB's pettiness cannot be ignored.
Which has led me to wonder which genuises inside MLB headquarters made the decision to remove any reference to current players from their website. Can't see that brilliant move having anything but a negative impact on fans, as it did with me.
Just really, really bad optics on a number of levels IMO.
They've taken their ball, turned out the lights and left the room, leaving the fans entirely in the dark, with nothing but a sour taste and really bad smell left behind.
Brilliance personified. I guess that's the end of baseball as we know it. There is no hope of reconciliation. We'll have to rely on nostalgia for our baseball fix. Is that what they're telling us?
They never learn. More self-inflicted negativity.
