What World Series? With your coverage of the World Series, you’d think you were covering a pick-up game in some vacant lot. You did show a picture of the Astros on the front page of your Sunday sports page, but the article was buried on page 4 and consisted of about a quarter page, with the box score covering about one quarter of that. During the baseball playoffs you could read about it on your last page of the sports section.

I can’t be the only baseball fan in the Las Vegas Valley. The World Series lasts seven games at most. Not everyone is a fan of the Raiders, Rebels, Knights, NASCAR, the Lady Rebels, Aces, college football, etc.
