In one of the Washington Post blogs, comes news that Washington DC Mayor Anthony Williams has asked the City Council for $750,000 to set up a Office of Baseball that would help coordinate the construction of the Nationals new stadium.
The leader of this commission shall me called Mr. Baseball and he will have a giant baseball for a head. He will sit at a large, elevated desk (ala Harry Cohn) and hear various proposals and ideas. He will indicate his pleasure/displeasure non-verbally with a safe or out sign. People who really please him will be thrown a bag of peanuts. Those who deeply offend him will be pine-tarred and feathered and sent to Scranton.
Insert your own punch line.
