The venues require that the dates for the conventions be established well in advance of the baseball schedule. There's no way the committee can take the MLB schedule into account.

I have been advocating for years having the National in NYC but all I keep hearing is that it is too expensive.

I have heard some of the numbers associated with a New York City National. As I understand it, union requirements would triple or quadruple the price of a booth even before you factor parking and lodging, etc. into the equation. You'd have about a dozen dealers who could afford to set up. There is virtually zero chance of a National in the Big Apple.
