Well, the subject says it all. I believe there should be point bets on the outcomes of baseball games, especially in the playoffs.

I think it would be interesting to feature baseball on sports challenge, and I wouldn't mind putting up those pools.
However, I will need to find a very reliable source on the web where I can get statistics on matches, schedules of matches, play offs, points, yadayadayada.
Give me such a web site, and you'll soon see Baseball featured on Sports Challenge.
Feel free to get in contact with me in this regard.

Thinking about it, I don't recall ever seeing a baseball challenge pool in the same spirit as the weekly college and pro football pools in a lot of newspapers or the final four bracket challenges. That would indeed be fun, especially at playoff time. The Rockies could definitely be considered a "bracket buster".

Thanks for the website.

Unless any other cl is prepared to take this up, I'm afraid that at this moment, baseball won't be featured on sports challenge, for the simple reason that the pools would have to be updated almost every day, with play offs and the like.
My knowledge of how the whole baseball thing works, is very limited as well.
Maybe in the future, the situation might change.
Please note that I said: Maybe.

Hell, they can't even keep up with college football, and that's only once a week.
