Doesn't this violate Major League Baseball's rules, since you're not supposed 
to send games from one market into another (radio or broadcast TV)?

Somehow the Whalers got around similar NHL rules all those years and got 
their games on SportsChannel, right up against the Bruins. (I'm presuming 
it's because the Whale were originally based in Boston.) It was wonderful 
being able to watch those playoff series between the Bruins and Whale on both 
SCNE and NESN.
