I agree. Mike Marshall's "principles" are absurd.

Baseball players DO have an obligation to their fans. We are all aware that baseball used to be a part-time job. Now it enables hundreds of athletes to make more money than they'll ever need in a year, every year. Why the shift?

THE FANS

You want to talk about how your job is to go out there and play baseball and that's it? Fine. Do you know who gave you that job?

THE FANS

Have some respect. Not only for yourself, but for the people who enable you to live the life that you're living. We are all taught from a young age to appreciate what we have, and the people who made it possible for us to have what we have. Why does that stop when you're a professional athlete?
