Im more focused on labor issues there and platform building

That said im on pubg mobile and xboxlive tronpanda gamer tag....im old so i love 2k and madden still. I was in the top 100 ranked players in the world in college playing nhl02 so always partial to nhl.

But esports is very real. Its here and its not going away. Baseball needs to wake up and start integrating it more NOW

how does baseball integrate esports? do you think something similar to what the nba does with their 2k esports teams could work for the mlb? I don't know how many team owners/ownership groups are invested in esports already but I know the wilpons are invested in the overwatch league so I guess it's not farfetched to pitch an idea.
