Mr. Leitch's homage to BAM, above, seems to ignore the darker side of MLB's media arm and the bigger question: Is there a First Amendment right to free speech in the coverage of sports or entertainment. As BAM dominates baseball in the electronic space, what value, to MLB, is there to that pesky local and national media that have a tendency to write stories of which MLB does not approve, on players not meeting ideal standards or, oh, testing positive for substances that alter the game.

You won't see any hard-hitting steroids stories in the MLB network.
