Seinfeld Festivus for the rest of us: Airing our MLB grievances

MLB Seinfeld Festivus: We air our grievances

We’ve got a lot of problems with you people; now, you’re going to hear about it, beginning with Bud Selig. 

Even though the former MLB Commissioner is nearly three years retired from office, he has plenty of wrongs to account for, especially neglect.

First off, why in the world would you let an All-Star game end in a tie? A tie is like kissing a sibling, and that’s exactly how that felt for us fans after the 2002 MLB All-Star game. 

How hard would it be to have a unique rule, where players can re-enter? Or, allow one of the hundreds of MLB players in attendance to pitch, for Festivus’ sake.

Let’s not forget that the steroid era went down under your watch — which you probably knew about, but the revenue flowing in made you turn a blind eye.

Even worse, you used Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGuire, and others as scapegoats, when it’s documented that many other MLB players were PED users.

Better yet, suspending Alex Rodriguez for 211 games was flat-out ridiculous. Hold a grudge, much?

Next, let’s turn the page to the present day and age, with the current Commish, Rob Manfred. How in the world did you allow the New York Yankees to acquire Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins, among others, allowing a considerable shift of power to swing back towards the hated evil Empire?

Speaking of the Miami Marlins. “Marlins Man” or so you are called. Who in the world do you think you are? Feeling entitled enough to enter a town hall meeting in Miami, going toe to toe with MLB legend Derek Jeter. Not only that, “Marlins Man,” you had a list of demands for the Yankee great and acted like you own not only the Marlins but MLB itself.

Hey, “Marlins Man” do us a favor and just go away. No one likes you.

Phew, all of this yelling has got us hungry. How about some yummy Festivus dinner, compliments of Estelle Costanza?
