On the subject of fair play in baseball, I'll say this. In 2009, I checked the scorecard on pitch-calling for 14 Mariner baseball games in August (that critical time when we were trying to get back into the AL West race and had a lot of very frustrating games against contending teams where we were griping about Wak not challenging the umps) and found a HUUUUUGE bias against the Mariners on balls and strikes.
The more I watch baseball games, the more I believe that the umpires are pressured to call things extra fairly (heh) for large markets like LA, NY, Boston, Dallas and Atlanta and let the blown calls fall on the side of out of the way places like Seattle.
