I watched a bit of the Congressional grilling of the leaders of Major League Baseball and if what I saw is any indication, the MLB is in trouble. The heads of MLB and the Players Association showed no remorse for either failing to stop steroid use or for resisting congressional demands for information. It was amazing to see and hear from the witnesses again and again words that basically said "We did more than our predecessors and you just don't understand how the system works." Maybe so, but obviously MLB does not know how Congress works. Congress is all about stoking the egos of powerful men. Instead, these sports leaders essentially gave them the least honored finger of the hand.
Major Leage Baseball exists because of a law that grants them exclusive monopoly rights. And what the hearings yesterday showed is that baseball does not see the monopoly status as a privilege, but a right. Perhaps it is time to repeal that privilege.
