The World Series has been called off because of a lone fan's complaint that the prices of beer are just "too damn high" at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.
The fan, Josh Pendergast, lodged a formal complaint against the Phillies, and the baseball organization took it to heart and canceled forfeited the rest of the series to deal with the scandal.
Phillies owner Bill Giles issued a statement saying, "We are here for the fans, and we love beer too. So we find the prices just unnacceptable." When asked why not just lower the prices, Mr. Giles said that it wouldn't be enough to just lower the prices, a statement had to be made that beer is just too expensive at ballparks.
"It is just ridiculous that people have to pay $10 a beer. Yes, I've been part of the problem, but I hope this action causes change throughout the league."
Presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barak Obama issued a joint statement in support of the cancelation of the World Series. They both agreed they were looking forward to the opening of the regular NBA season.
