Baseball Scandal

The news could not be good for MLB. Real names, real stories, real heroes, and now real villains. Will baseball or any other sport gain the full faith and trust of the American viewing public? Should that make all sports suspect? Can fans sue claiming that they bought tickets for a fraud? A recent case involving an auto race showed that this type of claim would be hard to win. A fan bought a ticket for a race, but many of the top name drivers did not attend, even though tickets were purchased under the assumption that the drivers will be there. The fan sued and the court threw it out saying that they bought a ticket for an entertainment event, regardless of who was driving, it was still a race. Similarly, regardless of who was playing, or how drugged up they were, fans still saw a baseball game.

The case about the tickets brings to mind what happened at the Celtics exhibition games at Mohegan. People spent over $100 a ticket to see the new "big 3" and only one of them (Ray Allen) actually dressed for the game.

I spoke to someone who went, and many fans were upset.
