If that's so .. how come they only sold on the Rangers site and not the Yankees ? I'd need a explanation there.
Already said it =P.
Rangers never even won a playoff series let alone made it to world series before. So they likely do it for the fans. Yankees are winning playoff series every year and making it to world series every other year so it's just routine for them.
Rangers do that kind of stuff for the fans, sell rights to possible tickets ahead of time, help build more hype and excitment. It's no different than the people or players who are saying they are going to the world series before the first game of the season even starts. It's the organization putting confidence in their team.
It's just not possible to fix an MLB game (or nfl, or nba, or nhl for that matter). Somewhere in the past, the 300-400 people who would need to be involved in each individual game in order to fix it would have talked. It is an absolute impossibility.
There've been some documented cases of throwing games/matches, but that's just one person's doing. you're likely not gonna see a whole team in on it like the 1917 world series again =P
