On this Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast, Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss Facebook's deal to exclusively show Major League Baseball games on mostly Wednesday afternoons. It's the first time a major U.S. league has agreed to show regular-season games exclusively on the social network, which paid about $30 million for the 25-game package. Also, the trio discusses March Madness, including why Coca-Cola is miffed at Grant Hill and whether the FBI influenced the selection committee's NCAA tournament teams. Also discussed is the resurgence of Tiger Woods.
