Consider the cast of characters. It's a modern OJ defense team, led by the "Fists of Fury," attorney Joseph Tacopina. There's already been one fight. He attacked an MLB lawyer. There's OJ himself - I mean A-Rod - glaring at Anthony Bosch, as if he's Ryan Dempster, while the rent-a-crowd outside chants "Drill here, drill now!" Being denied this spectacle is a blight upon free speech, access to government, and the truth-telling magnetism of Nancy Grace. In the 1950s, we were shut out of ever knowing the truth about Area 51. Now, it's happening again. Area 13.
Yesterday, A-Rod's all-star defense team conjured up an anonymous Edward Snowden whistleblower, who was primed to spill his guts about the dirty deeds that lurk beneath Bud Selig's seemingly innocent rug. The lead arbitrator - straight out of The Hunger Games post-apocalyptic nation of Panem - refused to allow the news conference. This is why Katniss Everdeen turned against them. Now Katniss - I mean A-Rod - is demanding that the trial to be open to the public, so we can all know what has been done in the name of the national pastime.
Open the trial, MLB! Let the light shine in! If you've got the goods on A-Rod, instead of whispering it to the $500 haircuts at ESPN, lay it on the table for everyone to see. If A-Rod is grandstanding, the world will know. And if A-Rod is right, it will all come out eventually on Frontline.
We are missing the best show of the new TV season. A trial of the century is going on - the greatest slugger of his generation its getting Shoeless Joed - and we're not being allowed to see? OPEN THE DOORS, MLB!
