How many championships has Oakland won in the last 10 years compared to the Yanks? Don't tell me that your precious Billy Beane has been remiss; I just wouldn't be able to cope. If you have stats to the contrary, please, enlighten me.<BR/><BR/>Also, if what you insist is true, and success in the MLB has not a thing to do with money, then why, as a fan, would one not support a salary cap? If competitive balance, player performance, and the overall greatness of basebarr is left unaffected by that thing we call dinero, then why would a poor sap like me cast his support for rising ticket prices in the wake of out-of-control arms races? I can see why the players would champion the cause of mo' money, but why in the world would I? (And I am not calling them greedy for doing so, I am merely acknowledging their human desire for more and would be no different myself.)<BR/><BR/>Making the game accessible to everyone should be one of the goals of the MLB amidst its waning popularity. Salary caps are more than just a helmet for millionaires; they are a seat for the common man. In the end, I believe that the greater benefit will be afforded to the average fan, as the wealthy owners already have the helmets to begin with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
