Submission + - MLB Denies Blogger Media Credential for ASG

crib notes: I asked for media credentials as a blogger from Major League Baseball to the 2007 All-Star Game. I was denied, as expected. I mentioned it in my post here: http://buccoblog.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/2007/05/asg _media_crede.html
I didn't realize how much of a controversy this subect was until my email box started filling up this morning. Email after email suggested that I continue to push for access.. from lawyers, government officials, and even journalists. I was pretty surprised.
After I modified my post adding that I should look into putting a sports bloggers association together, every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the country decided to email me saying that was a great idea. But is it?
I'm really curious what everyone thinks about the subject. I'm torn between not wanting to see bloggers in the clubhouse from the ex-player side of me, to wanting to see these sports giants swing the doors open more as a blogger because I'm well aware of how much real news never gets out that should.
Thank you for your time."
