Totally agree. If I ever get to watch ML baseball on local TV again, I'll be looking at it very differently. (As it is, I'm losing interest. Can't name but a few players on the local team, the Rangers.)
I used to play Fantasy League Baseball back in the late 80s when we called it “Rotisserie League.” My teams did pretty well (several pennants) but I quit after the 1990 season and never looked back because I found that I was conflicted between wanting “my” fantasy players to do well but what about when they played against my beloved Cincinnati Reds in real life? My fantasy team sucked in 1990, putting a damper on what should have been a joyous season for a Reds fan. Enough of that nonsense. The real thing is a lot more fun.
If ever a written piece deserved a "mike drop", this is the one.

So true
