If Bush were the Commissioner of Baseball...

Yesterday on my drive into the cities, a local sports commentator questioned how screwed up baseball would be if George W Bush had been Commissioner of Baseball instead of the President.

Rumor has it, he was seriously considered for this role in 1996.

Scary.

Under W...

Pete Rose would be leading baseball's crackdown on gambling.

Jose Canseco, Rafael Palmeiro would lead baseball's crackdown on steroids.

"You're doing a good job Rafie".

Revenue sharing would be gone, as would the Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, and a slew of other smaller market teams.

Interleague play would never have come to light, as Bush is a traditional sort of guy...

Baseball's Karl Rove would be superagent Scott Boras.

Baseball would not have avoided a second strike in a decade and baseball would now be seen on OLN, after NHL Hockey.

Baseball would be destroyed after a decade of Bush leadership...

Just some random thoughts...
