B.) Costas has been outted as a Democrat and Hollywood sympathizer.

It's not like he was in the closet about it. I remember he was a big Dukakis supporter during the 1988 campaign.

You've got a good memory...

Costas has now slimed himself again then. This time I'll remember.

. . . he was a big Dukakis supporter during the 1988 campaign.

Ethnic pride was probably a big factor in that for Bobby the Greek.

Costas is knowledgeable about baseball history and he loves the game, I'll give him that much.

But Mr. & Mrs. Sarandon are known to politicize events they attend, so I can understand the Hall cancelling the event.

What I can't understand is why they scheduled a 15th anniversary celebration for a movie like Bull Durham in the first place!?! What were they thinking? Was this a Bud "Larry" Selig P.C. decision, like retiring Jackie Robinson's number all across baseball?

If they wanted to pick a more wholesome movie to honor, one that conveys a real love for baseball, they could have picked either "The Sandlot" or "The Rookie."
