MLB 2026: The dying of the light

So with a lockout looming after the World Series, MLB is threatened by the popularity of the Savannah Bananas and their network of opponents. These aren't boring baseball games that stretch on endlessly. They track minutes per inning just as closely as ERA. These are talented entertainers (some former pros) who put on quite a show. They are like the Harlem Globetrotters - they even keep track of their success rates doing tricks. If games are missed (and some experts think the entire 2027 MLB season could be lost) the Bananas just might be a viable alternative for baseball fans.

Went to one of the games in Des Moines last year.

It was entertaining, but it wasn't baseball. As a travelling road show with inherent social media buzz, it will continue to sell well. But it won't sell 40,000 tickets 81 times per year in 30 different cities.
 
Figured out what's up with the Giants. Instead of looking conspicuous and tanking the end of the season like the NBA they're tanking the begining of the season, and probably the whole season, to get the first pick in the draft.
 
Weather messed with the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha. USC-Michigan State started at 9am and rain caused that game not to end until 1:30. Then more rain came so the second quarterfinal between Purdue and UCLA didn't start until 7pm. They moved one quarterfinal until today, but still decided to keep Michigan-Nebraska last night, so they didn't have first pitch until 11pm and ended just short of 2am.
