I’m first and foremost a baseball fan. Everyone at this blog likes the Astros, but if you didn’t have them, you’d probably still be following a team somewhere. Baseball is “America’s Sport,” after all...
So why is it that Major League Baseball makes it so hard to watch their games? In some parts of the country, as many as six teams are blacked out due to broadcast exclusivity deals, arrangements, and other archaic reasons. I’m over 400 miles away from any team’s home stadium, but I can’t watch Astros baseball if they play against the Washington Nationals or the Baltimore Orioles.
