Anyone else sick of seeing every square inch of outfield wall used for advertising in baseball?

Go back to even 1995 when the M's were in the playoffs.....I've watched that game so many times, and it's amazing...nothing on the outfield walls. I know, I know, it's how the organizations make money...or is it? Let's be honest folks, these clubs are raking in the big bucks from TV deals, merchandise, and tickets...not advertising at the game. We, as fans, ultimately control what happens because w/out fans, there is no sports. So, I urge you to write a letter to your organization to voice your displeasure over seeing so many advertisements at Major League baseball games. Or better yet, boycott the games until something is changed. It's sick, and it needs to stop. That's why the NFL is so great....no ads on the field....yet. NBA? Does anyone actually watch the NBA anymore? I got tired when I noticed the Fedex sign on the court was bigger than the Miami Heat logo. The NBA is a joke when it comes to advertising.

Sick of advertising, come visit Germany. Our hockey players are so full of advertising, that you didn't even notice the team logo. One of the things why I hate our common sports here!
Hi James... this one sparked a reply from me... with players' salaries as ridiculous as they are, sponsorship is the single most important department in an organization, bringing in multiple multi-million dollar contracts. Especially when ticket sales are bad... if you want sponsor signage to go down, tell everyone to buy season tickets, not write the team!
James, you are undermining my whole career! Please stop your campaign before I lose my job. But I agree with you, I can't stand what I have done and I'm sure that I will go to hell when it's all over. But the teams are going to get advertising, so it might as well be from me.
Just wait until you see at&t Park next season, the whole outfield scoreboard will be LED.
Cheers!
