mind has
integrity, faithful
roots and immune to the corrupt
philosophy of the outside world:
The game of baseball.
But with the Florida Marlins’
clinching of the National League
Pennant Tuesday in Atlanta, you
can go ahead and throw the Great
Game in the crapper with the rest
of the country.
I realize now I’ve been looking
the other way my entire life trying
not to notice the greed and filth
associated with our national pas
time. But with Florida on its way to
the World Series in only its fifth
season of existence, I finally have
to admit baseball has allowed
teams to get caught up in the big
money and lose sight of the game.
Last year the Marlins finished
in third place in the NL East
Division, 16 games behind the
Atlanta Braves, at 80-82. It was a
good year for the expansion team.
They almost finished the season
at .500 while gaining a lot of
respect around the league as a
competitive team.
A year later Florida was on its
way to the Fall Classic. They
eclipsed the 1996 New York Mets
as the youngest expansion team to
make it to the Series (five years to
eight years), they swept the San
Francisco Giants in the Divisional
Series and defeated the perennial
NL champion Braves in the NLCS.
The American dream, the
Cinderella story, the playoff
underdog making a champi
onship run—it sounds like a fairy
tale, but it’s not.
The 1997 Marlins exhibit every
thing that’s wrong with baseball.
They’re an overpaid expansion
team who made it to the playoffs
by being the best team not to win
anything: a.k.a. the Wild Card.
They have an open-checkbook
owner who dropped so much
dough in the off-season, he’s been
forced to put the team up for sale.
How proud Marlins fans
must be.
It’s sad that Florida has to
become the scapegoat for the
ongoing mistakes of Major League
Baseball, but somebody was
bound to reveal the shortcomings
of the sport.
Start with the Wild Card. This is
the biggest fluke in professional
sports. I can understand why the
NFL has extra playoff spots for
lower ranked teams, they only play
16 games. One or two mistakes
and good teams could easily miss
the playoffs.
Baseball was created with such
a long season to eliminate that
problem. After 162 games, the best
teams are going to win the divi
sions. So why reward a club, that
could theoretically have a losing
record, with an opportunity to play
for a championship? They didn’t
win anything; they have as much a
right to play in October as I do.
