What a horrible analogy. And as a Red Sox fan, I need to point out some things:
Nearly every spring training game has television coverage
They also have radio coverage (the Red Sox are a huge deal to people living in New England... it's a cultural thing stemming from having a team with 100+ years of history behind it)
While the Yankee/Red Sox rivalry isn't as intense as it once was, a fight breaking out - even in spring training - wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility depending on the events leading up to it
There are also MLB officials (neutral 3rd parties who are not fans of either team, so thus not wanting any particular narrative to be constructed over any others) present at every game
Also keep in mind, the burden of proof for a baseball fight is no where near that of a bonafide miracle... having fans, players, officials, and various media personnel say a fight happened is a completely different league (pun intended) than that of miracles
What we're saying in this thread, and have always said, is that you haven't met your burden of proof for your claims. Far from it, in fact, given that many of us have pointed out naturally occurring alternatives as well as holes in the stories presented. And, yes, miracles do have a higher burden of proof than events at a baseball game. If you cannot grasp that, well, that's your problem, not ours.
Seriously, this feels almost like a troll job stemming from the "Do extraordinary events need extraordinary evidence?" thread....
