Unlike the NFL, baseball offered the pay-TV operators minority ownership of the network. Satellite provider DirecTV owns 16.5% of the MLB Network, while the three largest cable companies - Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cox Communications - together own another 16.5%.

...Diddley song “Bo’s a Gunslinger”). It’s a marriage of the strange and the familiar, of structure and the willfully absurd, much akin to Shopsin’s macaroni and cheese pancakes.It is what it sounds like. Pancake batter is placed on a hot grill, cooked macaroni and grated cheese is added on top, cooked on both sides, then the whole thing is smothered with maple syrup. I know it’s a stretch, but work with me here. Think of Bo Diddley as the batter and sodomy humor...
