Our teachers, and police, fire pro's make paltry sums compared to a ballplayer? I wonder if this is what happened to the gladiators in Rome and Greece. Did their salaries begin to outstrip everyone else until someone took notice that the sports/entertainment "stars" could build mansions while the unemployment lines grew longer and longer?Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04998414080562162677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34048289.post-50571480818860657732009-08-14T09:12:14.170-04:002009-08-14T09:12:14.170-04:00I wonder what my grandfather would think.

You barely made enough money and had to have other work to survive the off-season. All that for playing a kid's game? What is wrong with our society? I think somewhere there is a real estate agent licking their chops.B SQUAREDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510619553483917078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34048289.post-72910182380579724582009-08-14T03:12:24.808-04:002009-08-14T03:12:24.808-04:00I hope some local workers get at least some work b...I hope some local workers get at least some work building this palatial house.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34048289.post-22189404227749472502009-08-14T00:01:13.416-04:002009-08-14T00:01:13.416-04:00Good grief!
