>>1. Bud Selig

I remember the year the All Star Game at Milwaukee wound up in a “tie”...later came “this time it counts!” Selig’s fellow owners sure like him

>>2. Tampa Bay “Rays”
For a time did OK, even getting into World Series, but attendance a problem—and fans had some sort of annoying
thing they used, vuvuzuelas or blowhorns or something...

>>3. Interleague “Play”
Some may be OK but they overdid it.

>>4. 1994
Indeed the strike

>>5. The “DH”
As a Red Sox fan (but I kinda cheer for some other teams—I like the city of Pitt. and hope the Pirates do well), I’m a confessed American League bigot. I do like the DH. But it’s gotta either be in both leagues or neither, none of this “well it’s an at AL park, so...”. I like scoring. Then again now that they’re cleaning up the steroids, pitchers again
have the upper hand and yes a “pitcher’s duel” can be fun too. I just don’t like when pitchers have to bat—they could get injured and really affect a team, or they kill a rally. A few years ago Rangers played Giants in World Series. I cheered for the AL as usual (if Yanks are in WS I make an exception), and they had a rally going—oops, here comes the pitcher up to bat, as it was at the NL park. End of rally.

People who DESERVE to go to HELL:
Charlie Findley(for screwing up the MLB Uniform and for the “inflicting” the”DH” on MLB)
Robert Moses(for Screwing over Walter O’Malley and forcing him out of Brooklyn(NYC) and when The Dodgers left they “towed” The Giants with them to the West Coast)
Pete Rose(for screwing up a DAMN GOOD MLB Career with doing something STUPID(Gambling on his own team))
