Enough already

Can we please stop with the self-righteous fire and brimstone being rained upon MLB? There are ads all over ballparks these days -- including giant "Gap" signs on, of all things, the outfield walls at the gaps. MLB already puts designs on the bases for Mother's Day and Father's Day (breast cancer research and prostate cancer research, respectively). What difference does it make? Are you honestly telling me that from way up in the 300 level of CBP you’re going to be able to tell what the ad even is? And, on top of that, what sort of fan are you that you’re more concerned about what might be written on the base instead of who is standing on it?

Look, my favorite sport is hockey and the NHL sells ad space on the ice. But you know what? I don’t care. You know why? Because I’m watching what the players are doing and where the puck is going.

I would suggest that you do the same.
