The BROADCASTING CONTROVERSY Between ABC and the New York Mets (1988)
On Memorial Day, 1988, the New York Mets were set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday Night Baseball on ABC. However, after a 34-minute rain delay, ABC did the unthinkable, in a move that made no sense considering the circumstances, and in a move that ticked off just about every Mets fan in New York, and the Mets organization themselves.

For the final week of the 1999 MLB season, the FOX affiliate in Madison, Wisconsin, WMSN, had two options for games to show. Option one was to pick the battle between the Milwaukee Brewers, the hometown team, and the Cincinnati Reds, who were tied for the division lead in the NL Central and were fighting for a playoff spot.

You've got a runner on 1st and 3rd with no one out, and it's the bottom of the 10th inning in a tied game. Option 1: pitch to the guy who's been the best hitter on the Reds today. Option 2: load up the bases to get the force out at home, and bring up a 6-7-8 order that's been anemic during this game and as of late. Well, guess which one the St. Louis Cardinals and manager Oli Marmol decided to ...

    Funny you set it up thr way you did, about choices like this. In 1990 I was visiting my brother in Texas and we went to Arlington for 2 days, one was for Six Flags, the other was going to be baseball. It's August and 100+ both days, and we could choose which day we did which. Problem was the Rangers game one day was a double header starting midday (no day/night stuff back then). Did we want to sit in CF on metal seats for 6+ hours? But, I'd never seen a pro game in my 20 years at that time so, we decided to do 6 Flags the next day. Didn't know G1 would be Ryan pitching, so, total surprise (my brother didn't have a newspaper sub, which is how you saw probables those days). G1, Ryan pitches 10 innings (diff era clearly) and in 10th inning, first pitch we could still hear it pop in the CF stands as it hit catcher's glove. 10 shutout innings of 3 hit ball, no walks, with 15ks, in a game that went 13 in a walk off win - Kenny Rogers got the win in relief. I'd argue that's among his best pitched games of his career. Ryan was Paul Bunyan and Walter Johnson combined and a nice guy too. I'd have missed that for the Splinter Ride if we made a diff choice. Oh, and for a bonus, in the night cap, saw Charlie Hough at age 42 throw 9 innings in a loss and give up a dinger to Carlton Fisk that broke the all-time HR record for catchers at the time. Best baseball day ever!!! Oh and the day at 6 Flags I got sunburned but also got to kiss a really cute girl on the log ride...so, best trip to Arlington in history?

    That was me that missed the ball. If you want to know what happened it was that the ball split the top yellow seam of the padded wall and it hit the rail behind the pad and went back on the field. The reason I was stretching for the ball instead of going to it was that those were stairs going down to the tunnel. I had already fell down those stairs a week before getting a Dave Justice home run. So I didn’t feel like falling down those stairs a second time. I had three television sports news interviews that night a front page news article in Sun Sentinel the next morning and four radio interviews the next day including one with Hank Goldberg and Al Downing. I always thought I would play in the pros but got hurt. So I did get my 15 minutes of fame!!!

But Tigers fans true rival was always the New York Yankees they were the standard you measured your team to then there was everyone else period.
