This week in retroactive championship removal insanity

By Tangotiger, 09:10 PM

Break the rules, and there’s no statute of limitations on removing awards.

First, what the schools do to amateur athletes is terrible.  In hockey, they divorce leagues from schools, so you don’t get the kind of b.s. you get in the USA.  Setting that aside, how far do you go to remove awards?  Selig can conceivably vacate every single World Series winner over the past 25 years if he wanted to under strict guidelines.

The blight is the blight.  Once a new season starts, the old one is in th books, warts and all.  Live with it.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
