Having just read the latest on the baseball negotiations, all I can say to the teams and the players if they can't figure out how to cut up this obscenely bloated revenue pie is: |

I lived a spoiled live for the most of the past 20 years. I have paid for very sporting events I've attended because of connections or my job as a limo driver. I have not paid to see a baseball game in over 10 years and I don't plan on changing that habit any time soon. 1994 pissed off to the point that I vowed then not to ever pay for a ticket to a baseball game again. |

It's pretty hard to feel sorry for the plight of those poor, struggling, billionare owners. It is also somewhat ironic that the owners, those bastions of capitalism at its finest, are now basically saying that they need their employees to help protect them from their own arrogance and stupidity. What a shining example of the Peter Principle in action. Jeez, do they need help from their employees to stay afloat in their other business endeavors? |

What I do not understand is the union concept. In labor unions that I know about, the catcher should get one wage, the right fielder a wage, starting pitcher a wage and so on. Without a union, they should be able to negotiate individial contracts, which is what they do now with a union, I do not understand. In 1994, some players had contracts that caused them to be paid by the owners even during a strike. I would bet that more players have that clause now. Several years ago, they got $75.00 per day meal money, I do not know what it is now. Endorsements and autograph shows both add to their income. Their playing career may be short and then they will have to fall back on the degree that they got in college to live on, which I hear is the most important thing about college athletics. Charles Barkley said that he got his degree in rebounding. |
