>>>>>It looks like a lot of items aren't counted in these numbers. If baseball is doing so poorly, and Bud Selig is its commissioner, wouldn't the owners be ready to hang him? Instead, he just got a three-year contract extension!

Exactly. No one plunks down 100-300 million of their own money and watches it lose money year after year. They do fine. There is no reason for the antitrust exemption. Why they get special rights is beyond me.

Re: Selig's contract extension.

Tom Powers in the St. Paul Pioneer Press said it best: Democrats vote for Democrats, Republicans for Republicans and blunderers vote for blunderers.

Since I live in Harrisburg, PA, I am 4 hours from Pittsburgh and New York, 2 hours from Philly and Baltimore. I have turned down at least a dozen FREE tickets this past year. That is what I think of baseball today.

Oh Yea, God Bless Bill Mazeroski, Jerry Luncy, Hal Smith and all of the others that beat the Yankees in the greates series of all time..........1960.
