Simply put, the World Series is the property of ALL baseball fans, not
just the fans of the teams that make it.  When we discuss this
subject, it should be in the context of what is good for all fans, not
just Cub fans.  I think it is undeniably in the interests of the fans
in general to have weekday games played at night.  It is probably in
the interests of the fans to have weekend games played at the home
team's normal time for such games.
