Hey Roger, what gives????
First you complain about stupid questions as in...

and then you go on to post a REAL BASEBALL QUESTION...

my question to you is...WHO CARES!  I, for one, would much rather see
questions which challenge readers' understanding of the rules/game
of baseball then worry about baseball clubs' advertisements.
I think YOU'RE the one who should think about what this group is for.
Sigh.
