If I want to see my favorite teams on MLB TV …

… I’ll have to wait until they play the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets or Cubs.

Tonight’s schedule: Royals v. Yankees and Mets v. Dodgers. A few days ago, MLB TV had Yankees and Red Sox two successive nights.

A thing not imaginable by the Boston-New York-Chicago clique -- Not everybody is a fan of those city's baseball teams.

Here's an example of Northeast mental make-up:

Years ago my wife was executive director of a local chapter of an international woman's organization. The organization's headquarters is in New York City. The organization made some sort of policy change. The first my wife knew of the change was in a letter announcing approval by the organization's national board of directors.

My wife called the organization and said, "It would have been nice if you had let us know this policy change was being considered so we at the local chapters could present our thoughts."

The national person said: "We bought a full page in the New York Times."

My wife: "Not everyone reads the New York Times."

National person: "Of course they do. Everybody reads the Times."
