Interesting long article on Scott Boras in the OCWeekly

If he could pull this off, I'll take back everything bad I've ever said about the guy:

He says he wants MLB to scrap the current World Series format and adopt a nine-game series in one designated city per year—the way it was played in the early 20th century. He’s talked to owners and says some see nothing but upside.

So how much of a cut would he get?

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Why one city? Where is the fun of that? And you're going to book 9 dates at a major venue and risk only playing 5?

 

[Oldtimer]

If Boras brought it up, then he must have a financial stake in it. He is in it for himself...

This is a good idea. Still can stay with a 7 game series though.

I don't see Boston/NYY giggle and other big markets going for this though.

This is the only way Dallas ever gets a world series so I'm all for it.

 

[JaxBill]

They should play it in a warm-weather city like Miami. I'm sure that the attendance track record would warrant it.

 

[JaxBill]

Boras is 54, married with three kids. His only major distraction from the work of baseball is going to watch his two teenage sons play the game for their Orange County high school and Little League traveling teams.

Geez, how'd you like to be the Little League coach who had Scott Boras as one of the parents?

 

[PC Load Letter]

Never happen.

Unfamiliarity with the outfield isn't fair to the OFs.

"Ok guys, this year we're playing the WS in Houston. Good luck with the hill in center."
