A. Upmalis) Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 25 Summary: If the game belongs to the fans where is my share of the gate... Actually I think that having the fans vote isn't bad, I think that they shouldn't be the only ones, I think the vote should be split up among the fans, the writers and the players, equal or weighted I don't know but I lean to the equal thirds. The game is entertainment so somebody like a Jackson, as much as I dislike him that catches Joe Fans attention deserves a vote, but somebody like a Fernandez or Moseby who gets more recognition from the players or the writers deserves the attention that comes form the process Also, a change like this would be the easiest to implement, and the resulting team would have to be better to watch... And by the way, the NBC bit last saturday on snow in October in Montreal was really absurd, and despite some climatic differences, Toronto is on the same latitude as Northern California... Remember the dollar difference in October, the Wrold series in Canada will be a bargain! -- Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts)ihnp4!watmath!watarts!mupmalis
