Baseball - Why Not Cancel Every Game Except The Yanks Versus the Red Sox?

, I grew up a full-time Chicago White Sox fan and a sometime Cub fan.

So, you might think I\'m used to mediocre seasons, yet still capable of enjoying the idea of ducking work to see an afternoon ballgame in the crisp, spring time air.

But nowadays, it would take a lot to wrench me from my China Baseball Jerseys office or home to see any team play, apart from say the Yankees or Red Sox.

I don\'t believe most clubs are worth watching, especially those that clamber into the post-season with a record that is barely better than a breakeven. The Yanks and Red Sox seek to win two-thirds to 70% of their games

The Yankees and Red Sox are the only teams willing to consistently pay to get the best players and to win world championships. The remaining teams are only willing to part with enough dough in order to squeak by, to be profitable.

You can tell that most teams are merely going through the motions, while the two leaders are consistently going for results.

In movies, you\'ll see there are a few genuine stars, and they\'re usually surrounded by scores of \"extras,\" bit players that earn a fraction of the stars\' money and none of their acclaim.

There\'s no such thing as an Oscar for the best performance in a movie by an extra.

And there should be no prizes given to the teams that throw the equivalent of batting practice to the Red Sox and Yankees, those bit players and part-timers that seldom come into full focus, who are there year after year in scene after scene, but merely as a backdrop to the major players.

Maybe, every other team, apart from the Red Sox and Yanks should be demoted to the minors, where they belong. They might be allowed to play exhibitions against each other, and the very best might qualify to play the two star teams, but only China Baseball Jerseys on occasion, where all in attendance know the outcome, yet still cheer their hearts out in the remote hope their amateurs can beat the pro\'s.
