Costas delivered the eulogy at <a href="/wiki/Mickey_Mantle" title="Mickey Mantle">Mickey Mantle</a>'s funeral.

Costas believed it diminishes the significance and drama of winning a divisional championship. He prefers a system in which winning the wild card puts a team at some sort of disadvantage, as opposed to an equal level with teams who outplayed them over a 162-game season. Or, as explained in his book <i>Fair Ball</i>, have only the three division winners in each league go to the postseason, with the team with the best record receiving a bye to the League Championship Series. Once, on the air on <a href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Inside_the_NFL" title="Inside the NFL">Inside the NFL</a></i>, he mentioned that the NFL regular season counted for something, but baseball's was beginning to lose significance. With the advent of the second wild card, Costas has said he feels the format has improved, since there is now a greater premium placed on finishing first. He has suggested a further tweak: Make the wild card round a best two of three, instead of a single game, with all three games, if necessary, on the homefield of the wild card of the better record.<sup id="cite_ref-103" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-103"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>102<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He also has disdained the <a href="/wiki/Designated_Hitter" class="mw-redirect" title="Designated Hitter">Designated Hitter</a> rule, saying baseball would be a better game without it.<sup id="cite_ref-104" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-104"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>103<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Costas serves as a member of the advisory board of the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_Assistance_Team" title="Baseball Assistance Team">Baseball Assistance Team</a>, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping former Major League, Minor League, and Negro league players through financial and medical difficulties. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Political_views">Political views</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bob_Costas&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Political views"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Costas considers himself left of center but has said that he has voted for Republican candidates at times as well.
