NEW YORK, NY (HBN) – After public outrage, Major League Baseball has gotten out of its deal with Marvel and Sony to display 4 inch Spider Man 2 ads on bases from June 11th to the 13th this summer. The promotion was going to be worth 3.6 million dollars to MLB.

The New York Yankees had already expressed their disgust at the idea of having these ads on their bases. Trying to liken this sell-out to Interleague play, Baseball had originally thought the game’s “purists” would come around.

In the end, they were wrong, and gave in to the pressure. It is unclear why Major League Baseball chickened out. If they were willing to announce to the world that they had indeed sold out, and then also try to defend themselves initially, they might as well have stuck to their guns.

It doesn’t surprise me that the sport would pull this kind of stunt. Ever since Baseball was plagued by strikes, things haven’t been the same. Unless the sport produces some more crazy-talented players, like left handed pitcher Jared Thomas of the Seattle Mariners’ organization, things are only going to get worse.

Personally, I hate spiders. In fact, I eat them whenever possible.

But, this reminds me. I think someone needs to make a movie about me… and bengal cats.

We are this shiznit.
