Maybe RIP Ought to Be New Baseball Statistic

In view of the failing attendance figures around major league ballparks this summer, coupled with the hue and cry that the game is dying, shouldn’t the All-Star game at Arlington, Tex., have been moved to another Arlington--the site of our national cemetery? I’m sure many fans feel that’s where the game belongs.

Looking at the current state of major league baseball, one has to notice a ridiculous paradox: Pete Rose is not allowed to be involved with baseball while Bud Selig is.
The players, greedy as they are, still would not have gone on strike last season if Selig had agreed not to unilaterally implement the salary cap in 1995.
Selig has done more damage to major league baseball than anyone since the Black Sox scandal.
