Whenever I want to feel really good about myself, I listen to a little bit of sports-talk radio. Obviously, the advertisers don't think this particular demographic group engages in much of what we call critical thinking. I mean, basketball and football have done it, and look what it's done for them. This guy must be buying the products advertised on his show. Dear Radio Guy, I've got a newsflash for you.
Baseball is a difficult game to play.
And I don't see why television advertisers, who do engage in critical thinking, want to sponsor a nationally televised program that will decide the future lineup of the Rancho Cucamonga Earthquakes. In football and basketball, just about every player taken in the first two rounds plays at the top level the same year he is drafted. So, televising the June Draft would be a lot like televising a ninth grade science fair and calling it a moon landing. There are three top-notch prospects available this year, and the Minnesota Twins should come home from the draft with one of them. The Baseball Page.
