Compassionate Conservative?
Monday, 8 September 2003 by Jacob TomawThis weekend I was watching the Cubs stomp the Brew Crew in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is the hometown of the Commissioner of Baseball. Mr. Selig came into the broadcast booth with Chip Caray and Steve Stone. They were discussing that it was 10 years ago that the wild card system for the MLB pennant races was voted in by the owners. The Commissioner stated a fact that I think might be in play for next year?s presidential election. The Wild Card was approved 27-1 in 1993. The lone dissent came from the Texas Rangers. The president of the Rangers has now gone on to a more important job. We all know him as President Bush. If the election where held today could the baseball fans of the Yankees, Red Sox, White Sox, Twins, Royals, A?s, Mariners, Braves, Cubs, Astros, Cardinals, and Giants hold the President responsible for trying to destroy their hopes of a World Series? Does voting against the Wild Card system sound like something you would do if you wanted to be seen as companionate? Perhaps the President saw giving these team who had failed to win their divisions a second chance similar to going back to the UN for yet another resolution on Iraq, or giving any amount of trust to Kim Jung Il.
Just something to ponder.
