On this 4th of July edition, Doug Gottlieb discusses how the 4th of July is no longer a baseball dominated holiday & how the MLB is missing out on a major marketing opportunity by not having Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge in the Home Run Derby.
Doug Gottlieb: "Judge vs. Shohei. The showdown. I think you're missing a major, major marketing opportunity here, if you're the MLB not having Aaron Judge & Shohei Ohtani, go head-to-head in the Home Run Derby. This is an example of how baseball doesn’t own today. I feel when it's Thanksgiving and I'm gonna turn on a football game and everyone's gonna watch football. Everyone wants to be like, it's like it's a thing to watch football during Thanksgiving. But with this, it really it doesn't feel like it. You know what I mean? It's like I don't think about baseball. I don't like as much as it's America's sport."
