Mike Francesa calls out MLB’s incompetence as only he can
Wendell Cruz | USA TODAY SportsEveryone is off, but the big guy is still working.
“Baseball does such a poor job of marketing its sport,” WFAN legend Mike Francesa tweeted on Monday. “How can the Yanks and Mets be off on Labor Day? Utterly ridiculous!”
He’s right. Put aside the jokes about both local baseball teams stinking. How can there be a Labor Day (and a Memorial Day and a Fourth of July) when one or both of the baseball teams in New York City do not play? And yet it continually happens under Rob Manfred’s stewardship of Major League Baseball. It is a joke. Albeit one with a fix.
