Taking things a step further, MLB commissioner Bud Selig told Sirius XM Radio on Monday that he would like to have a day game start for one game of the World Series. "I'm working hard because I happen to believe not only in a late afternoon game but in earlier starting times, and I'm not going to be happy until we get those," Selig said.
