Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred Jr. said the move was "the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport," that pro baseball "fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions at the ballot box."

So...now he's saying Georgia isn't racist? How is Atlanta hosting a World Series Game? Does the Major League Baseball slander about Georgians being racist only apply to All-Star Games?

Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred Jr. is nothing but a filthy hypocrite.

Can we safely presume that ratings for this WS will absolutely crater? Nobody outside of the respective cities will be watching, except for the occasional degenerate gambler...

MLB: Sorry, Atlanta you can’t host the All-Star Game this year.
Braves: That’s OK, we’re gonna host the World Series!
How do you like them apples

“the first world series of the Confederacy”

Interesting observation. Depends on whether to count Missouri as Confederate.

And “Let’s Go Brandon” broke out across the stadium.

I really hope that the crowd chants either that or the original version repeatedly throughout each of the games.

One can only hope. I don’t watch baseball but I might this time just to see/hear the crowd.

You expect consistency from a public figger?

The leftists have tried so hard to get the Braves to give up the chop (and change the name of course). The more they whine, the more the fans do it. I love it. Ted Turner got rid of chief Noc-a-Homa and the teepee back in the 80s, but at least we kept the name.

I’m a lifelong Braves fan; it was something my dad and I enjoyed together, even in his last months I watched with him in the hospital room. I’m excited they made it, being such an underdog and it’s a real finger in the MLB eye to boot.

I know Houston is likely the better team, but Go Braves! Chop on!

Truth is, those who believe this gets even with Manfred are really letting him off easy in an "all is forgiven" sense. This doesn't make anything "even" because Atlanta was supposed to have the All-Star game the Series because they earned it.

Baseball lost me because of that, and I live in Ohio, not Georgia.

If Houston was still the Colt 45s, they could hire Alec Baldwin to do the play by play.

“...no World Series game will ever be played in Seattle.”

The total amount of Hotel rooms available in Downtown Seattle: 14,861; Hotel rooms available in King County: 43,490.

The stadium they play in has a seating capacity of 47,929 for baseball. Parking at T-Mobile Park is always an adventure. There are three lot numbers. Number one, the Mariners’ garage has 2000 slots. Number two, CenturyLink Event Center Garage, also has 2000 slots. And number three, Union Station Garage, controls a little over 1000 slots.

The nearest hotels to T-Mobile are over a half mile away from the stadium entrance and then about a quarter mile to the ticketing area. It rains here a lot in October and has snowed.

Better get used to uber as there are only around 800 taxis including the disabled vehicles and airport shuttles unless you want to walk through south Seattle that has had a rising crime rate for a few years and they are chasing the cops out of the city replacing them with psychologists. And they are still fighting the courts for safe injection sits for heroin users/abusers in the city. Homelessness in South Seattle is in an industrial zone and there are a number of parks there.

I haven’t even gotten to prices and quality of things and it is already appearing to be a horrible idea to bring anything short of a national guard bivwack there. And the food would be better that way also.

“Astros in six games...”

I want Manfried to have to present the trophy to the Braves in front of Atlanta fans, so I’m hoping for a Braves’ win in five.

Let’s hope the MLB officials stay away from the ballparks.

I had no idea who was in the playoffs until I saw this. That’s how much I now care about MLB.

I hope Atlanta fans somehow smuggle in trashcan lids to toss in the outfield.

‘Eff the cheating astros.
