Moyer,

You touched upon something I failed to mention. Night games. Hate them. You are absolutely right. It's insane that here on the East Coast, post season games are started at 8:30-9 o'clock at night. In 2000, the two teams involved in the World Series were both in New York. You can say the majority of the fan base was on the East Coast, yet broadcast television has to cater to the West Coast and start the games at a ridiculous hour.

Tape delay broadcasts and scroll "tickertape" advertisments on the bottom of the screen. Because of those people involved with the game, baseball has surpassed as the National Pastime.
