MLB: SF Giants. Always.
Now imagine that FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS decided that only Red Sox games would be broadcast to the exclusion of all others, and any other team you wanted to watch on TV you could only watch if you were really lucky and they were playing a game on the West Coast that ended after the Sox were done. Imagine also that the national announcers on all those networks actually did the Red Sox home broadcasts and so were Red Sox fans themselves. And imagine that even the national ESPN feed always led off all Sportscenters with the Red Sox game, followed by Red Sox news, followed by Red Sox talk, and only then got into the other scores and other sports. And imagine you’re living in Boston and the local sports radio station broadcasted Boston Red Sox news to the exclusion of all other sports teams, to the point that if the Patriots weent 13-3 and were facing the Dolphins to the AFC championship, they’d still lead off every broadcast with Red Sox news, and would even cover the Red Sox with two thirds of all broadcasts when it wasn’t even baseball season. Imagine the radio station and local papers put more coverage into the Sox than they did into the Patriots, Bruins, and Celtics combined, even if those teams were winning and the Sox were not.
RickJay , this is kind of like being a college sports fan in the SF Bay Area. Local media devote more column inches, more minutes to the '9ers on a bye week than they do to Cal when they’re playing a crucial game.
