I have always wondered why Major League Baseball is so backwards in how thy do things. Now i am not a fan but occasionally the TV is on a sports station and baseball happens to come on and I just do not change the channel right away. This happened yesterday and again this evening where I saw a few minutes of the Home Run Derby and the all Star Game. It was nice to see five Blue Jays as part of the American League Team. The Home Run Derby is alright and the players wear their All Star Jerseys so the fans will know if they are with the American or National leagues, which makes no sense as the Home Run Derby is individual and not team based. Now the All Star Game is a different story the players wear their individual team jerseys as opposed to the All Star Jersey’s in a game where they are either playing for the the National or the American league teams.

This makes absolutely no sense and is typical of how backwards that MLB is concerning how they run their league. It still stuns me that when the championship trophy is presented it is presented to the team owner and not the players who earned the championship. Just goes to show how backwards that professional baseball league is…..
