The World Series and Weather: A Mighty Conflict

So the make-up for the rest of Game 5... will not be seen tonight, as the entire East Coast is being soaked with wet weather.

In a related note, weather turns really crappy when it gets close to November.

So why in the world are we still playing baseball. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball, but when then wind is howling and the temperature is dipping well below 50 degrees, the last thing I want is baseball. Though, due to Bud and his brilliant idea to create the Divisional Series, baseball is pushed so long into Fall it finishes damn near winter. Taking a look at some of the teams competiting the last few years in the Series (Boston, Philly, Colorado), these games have to compete with the elements. While Tampa is much warmer and of course domed, half of the series will be played in the harsh Northeast.

We need to go back to the old days when the World Series was decided before Columbus Day or better yet before the last week of election campaigns.
