Hear, hear, Tim! I'm with you. 

Until the sad but inevitable day when the Cubs are moved to
the modern-era plastic stadium in the name of the Holy Network,
I'll rejoice in day games in sunshine on real grass and ball-eating
vines (thanks, Bill Veeck!). A team should not have to be relocated
just to satisfy the Madison Avenue fat cats and Peter Profit. (Yes,
I hear the flames acomin', especially from myopic Mets--go on, make
my day. :-(  )

Football compromised itself irrevocably with the Superbowl warm weather
site philosophy; watch the prostitution continue when *all* playoff or
championship games are moved to "alternative" sites because the weather
or the kickbacks aren't right!.

Well, Tim, the forlorn truth is that someday day ball, real grass, and
playing in your own park will someday be viewed as historical 
curiosities along with horse hide baseballs, wooden bats, and fallible
but human umpires.
