Baseball To take action !!!

"This has become a travesty," one baseball official told the Daily News. "We look ridiculous and very unprofessional."

The labor negotations?

The All Star Game "let them play" debacle?

Bud Selig as Commisioner?

Contraction?

Falling TV ratings?

Loss of the game's popularity?



Nope. Baseball is worried about having kids in the dugout . . .

I knid of get the impression that these guys think it would be a great game if it weren't for the fans . . .

I agree. The kids don't belong in the dugout. Baseball is on the decline, but they are on the money with this one.

I'll bet the kids go on strike to, teach them while they're young.

[The REAL Sabres]

Yeah, who babysits them, their fathers!?!

I agree with this one also. Too many teams are abusing the priviledge of having kids as batboys. Dusty Baker's 3 1/2 year-old son almost got killed at home plate were it not for J.T. Snow grabbing him as he scored. It's fine to have one or two batboys, but some teams are hosting min-daycare centers. Crazy.
