Further to Tuesday's post about the Minor League baseball game that was to be kicked off by two gamers on MVP Baseball 2005, the Winnipeg Sun has reported that it ain't gonna happen no mo' (via Kotaku). Instead the gamers, who were going to play the first two innings of the match between the Kansas City T-Bones and the Schaumburg Flyers, will play two innings after the real-life version is done.
The ruling came down from the Commissioner, who said:
After further review and discussion, I have decided that this concept as originally presented is not in the best interest of the Northern League. Any promotion that could affect the outcome of a regular season game is not permissible. Ultimately, such an event could have an influence on the final standings, and this certainly challenges the integrity of the league.
Boo hiss!
