BaseBall Survivors

Posted By: Dr.Koos

...or Radatz!! That's another big difference, the comfort zone at the plate. 70 years ago, the average ballplayer was worth less than $5,000 per year, not exactly a huge owner investment. Umpires weren't too quick to tell a pitcher, "Even though he hit a homer and a double off you today, Don't you dare do that...you can't throw at his head". Today, there's far more of a mutual respect between pitchers and batsmen, who at any one time can both be representative of a combined 100 million dollar or more lifetime investment to their respective owners!
