Hi, my name is Seth Preston. I am a huge sports fan, particularly baseball, and have been reading the sports newspaper since I was young.

Ever since the Deseret News started doing the online newspapers during the week, and the paper copies for the weekend, one of my favorite parts of the sports page was removed, the MLB standings and statistics. I loved checking this part of the newspaper every morning, checking up on my favorite team, the Dodgers, and seeing if my favorite players were leading any of the statistics like home runs hit, bases stolen or even batting percentage.

I would love it if Deseret News brought back the MLB standings and statistics for the printed weekend paper, and I think many other people would love to see that come back as well.
