World Series should be at a neutral site
With a full expectation of being shot down, I offer this opinion. Like the Super Bowl, pick a location in advance that has an extremely high expectation of good weather.
If we take it as given that MLB is not going to shorten the season - next year could run as late as Nov. 7th - it seems only a matter of time before something extremely unfair is going to happen to some northern team that plays outdoors.
They are going to be hit with an unplayable blizzard right when the show comes to town. MLB will either have to move their games somewhere else - which would be borderline scandalous - or decide the championship in ridiculous conditions which are (a) no fun to watch for fans and (b) completely non-conducive to proper baseball performance.
The first part of Game 5 in Philly was awful. Fortunately things did clear up eventually - this time. But sometimes weather systems can be much more persistent. I am Canadian. I know. If they're going to keep extending the season, I submit that it is not a question of if it will happen but when.
That is all.
