Title: Too bad this book wasn't around in 1993 or 1994
Product review: Costas for commissioner? Great candidate but the last guy was an ardent, principled fan also and look what happened to him. The owners took over the commissioner's office and the game with it as well. They should read this book. As should the players and Don Fehr. All parties are greedy and shortsighted.A thought provoking read for any fan. Costas, as he states early on, is no starry-eyed-baseball is poetry Field of Dreams guy, just a fan who loves the game. Costas makes great arguments for revenue-sharing (this resistant fan was won over), the elimination of the wildcard (even if he beats it to death, it does cheapen the regular season), eliminating the DH (almost convinced me), and a good one for salary caps (how do you handle guys locked into $11 milllion plus salaries if $10's your cap?)A lot of great ideas. Let's hope someone in a position of power and influence picks up on them.
