Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the network TV contracts
with Major League Baseball have clauses in them specifying different
dollar amounts for weekend games, week-day games and week-night games, for both
the play-offs and the Series.  Thus, the real pressure is likely to come from
the team owners, in that the networks are sort of covered no matter what h
oops! happens.
