PING IMA

Since you seem to know everything about the business aspects of baseball, do
you know why MLB only advertises during its own games and not during other
sporting events? The NFL and NBA do the same. Is there some type of
agreement against cross-advertising. I'd figure that if you want new fans,
go to fans watching other sports and sell your game.

Don't know on that for sure - I'd suspect that it's part of the deals
for broadcast rights - leagues don't want competitors advertising on
their broadcasts, and write it into the agreements. But that's just a
wild ass guess.
