Admittedly it isn't easy getting a convenient time for 4 time zones in the contiguous US, let alone Alaska and Hawaii. This means a few years ago, NY Mets fans had to tune in at 11 pm for a NLDS game against the Diamondbacks and a few weeks back, those in San Diego wound up cheering on their Padres at 10 am (noon start in St. Louis). Of course those on the West Coast are used to "10 am" football and baseball games played on the East Coast. (And how about if, say, the Angels play the Red Sox at _11 am_ on "Patriots' Day" in Mass.? 8 am start Pacific.)

Well, I was 13 and a half at the time and was able to stay up and see it.

WHY WON'T THEY JUST TAPE DELAY FOR EACH TIME ZONE. I am getting so tired of all the games starting later and later for all sports. I never get to see the conclusion of anything.....
It is a simple technology, lets use it.

Did it ever occur to the people making these decisions that many people might deliberately tune in later in the game because most games are more interesting in the later innings when pitcher fatigue comes into play?

I am so old, I remember watching both the All Star Game and the World Series as day games. Of course, I also remember going to double headers.
All things of the past.
