2012 MLB All-Star Game to Be Held in The Middle of Nowhere
Bud Selig is off of his medication again. He’s now playing Santa Claus with All-Star games, by giving the 2012 game to Major League Baseball’s finest Minor League team, Kansas City. Selig was “quite close” with Ewing Kauffman, the founder of the Royals. Obviously closer to him than the prospect of making money for the league.
The commissioner had promised the people of Kansas City this game if they agreed to fund a tax levy to fund the renovation of Kauffman Stadium.
“I’ve seen what All-Star Games can do for franchises, and this is really going to help David Glass and the whole Royals organization,” Selig said.
Umm, unless David Glass goes all Cuban and kidnaps visiting All-Stars, and holds them captive on his squad, this will not help a franchise feeding off of the revenues of Boston, LA, and NY. Maybe if David Glass was willing to go out and buy more talent, they wouldn’t be the doormat to the West.
On a positive note, Kauffman Stadium has all the makings of a great place to have an All-Star game.
Watch Out For Sluggerrr’s Wiener
According to the Kansas City Star, a fan is suing the Royals after a wiener struck him in the eye, detaching his retina and causing cataracts. The wiener came from the mascot Sluggerr and was thrown not shot from his cannon. The man is only asking for $25,000 and is said to have been operated on twice already. The team is hoping to settle, but Sluggerr is said to be on hand to testify, if need be.
The state of Missouri, however, is not being so light on the subject. They are suggesting that the shape of the national past time’s favorite food should be changed, and the right to throw them should be stripped from vendors. Missouri will be left with their crappy weather, crappy professional sports teams, overrated college basketball team, and, I don’t know, square hot dogs.
I guess the fans are as good at catching as their players, good thing it wasn’t a foul ball.
