On January 24, 2007 MLB.com published an article that said
Capping a final emotional year at the current Yankee Stadium in 2008, Major League Baseball is set to announce that the annual Midsummer Classic will be hosted by the Yankees and played at the old yard that July, a baseball source told MLB.com on Wednesday.
The media conference announcing the official awarding of the game is planned for Jan. 31 at New York’s City Hall and will be attended by Commissioner Bud Selig and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the source said, confirming an ESPN report.
January 24th has come and gone and no press conference has been announced.
The 24th was a Wednesday, so perhaps MLB will hold true to form and later today we’ll hear of a February 1st press conference? (Pure total speculation).
Does it make sense to let the Mets finally have good news and bury it a few days before the Giants Super Bowl?
I would say no.
Will MLB wait another three weeks for this announcement?
Should I put on my tinfoil hat and make up reasons why the Mets won’t get the game after all?
I’m watching…waiting….no game yet….

Think it ties into the extending Selig’s contract. That wasn’t official until like Monday.
