When it went from a national passtime and became all about s-elf importance and , I was in disbelief. Baseball is as greedy of a game as football,basketball et al. What a shame. How can a pitcher, for any team, make more than an earnest devoted teacher or countrys leader? Those who perpetuate the myth of the players worth and greatness, well, just saddens me. How many in the population of an average city can afford to attend a game now?

It's difficult to relate how much someone makes for their services to the job they do. It's more related to rarity than worth in the society. Difficult to relate the relative worth of the janitors job to what the CEO job is worth in the market place. Both jobs need to be done but lots of people can do the one and not so many can do the other successfully.

My views on most teachers and all teacher unions is pretty well known so I'll take a pass with regard to relating the salaries of athletes to teachers. Except to say that every time legislation is proposed at the state level to reward outstanding teachers with larger paychecks, it's the teachers and their unions who object the loudest. The coven of mediocrity at work.

The old the rich just keep getting richer & the poor keep getting ....

The entire wealth of the whole ball team could support the hungry here. Just one of them rumbling thoughts us ol Aquas get.

I know everything is as it should be & I`ll hop off my lilypad now.

(still can`t root for the Yanks tho Oxy, too much rivalry flowing in my blood from the glory days )

Not another incredibly long thread - in JWhops'honor? Just something about you and your charisma, JWhop. You get people talking!

These baseball games keep me up too late. I wanted the Cubs and Red Sox. Oh well. Now, I fluctuate. When the Yankees have a "God Bless America" singer in the 7th inning stretch, I remember 9/11 and all that NY has been through. I'm a Yankees fan. I admire the Marlins. They have a great team, with not nearly as much $ to work with.
