SOME THOUGHTS

WORLD SERIES

Why doesn’t Major League Baseball go beyond the borders of the U.S.A. and Canada, and make up Major Leagues in Europe, Asia and South America, and maybe even Africa? In South America baseball is a great sport, which is played everywhere. The fans are real fans and too many of the players are from the area to ignore it as a major league potential.

SUPER BOWL

Europe is embracing football, and the NFL wisely plays games in London to expand the interest on an international level, so why not Major League Baseball?

Japan has it established and invites many U.S. ballplayers to play in their baseball leagues, and some teams have an international reputation. Korea seems to be catching on as is Formosa.

STANLEY CUP

M. L. SOCCER

There are other sports that could use the idea of crossing borders and oceans, like the National Hockey League, and Major League Soccer to some degree. The idea is to find the true “World Champion” of it’s sport. So different areas of the world would have their own leagues, determine their champion and send it off to the world competition. Would this not be exciting, and in the end we would have real world champions?

NBA CHAMPIONSHIP

If you think about the excitement that the World Series and the Super Bowl generate, the revenue would be tremendous, for the different countries, different sports and everyone’s economy. But one of the sports needs to start this and make it happen.

The National Basketball Association could start to generate international interest since it is a game that already has international following all over the world. The teams would be on a par very quickly. Why does the rest of the world accept the idea that the world champions play only in the U.S.A. or Canada?

I think the idea makes a lot of sense, and is about due.

That’s all I wrote, folks!
