I’m a lifelong local New York Yankees fan with the best MLB cable package available. It’s upsetting that many games featuring California baseball teams are blacked out.
Why are games that are almost 2,500 miles away restricted? Is MLB worried Hawaii locals will not attend the games live? Any fan of the A’s, Angels, Dodgers, Padres and Giants can’t watch their games on TV, and cable providers can’t do anything about it.
The greed of sports organizations nowadays is sickening.
About 30 years ago, games were free to watch in the New York area and now good seats at the new Yankees stadium are almost $1,000 each. It’s no wonder that baseball is losing its fan base.
Blackout rules for Hawaii baseball fans must be eradicated. Let us watch the games!
