davemania Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I agree with Selig on the first point. Stopping the MLB midway through the season would harm MLB rather than promote it. Baseball was never a popular olympic sport, I dont think it really mattered if it was dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggybear102 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Baseball is not as important a part of the summer games as hockey is to the winter games. Stopping it would kill all momentum here, not to mention risk of injuries. And you think Steinbrenner is angry when his team is healthy and loses, wait until A-Rod blows out a knee in the Olympics.
