Thumbs up I Agree!!!

You're right, Doc!
Soothe your savage urges by checking out a College or High School game, and your spirits will be lifted.
Our great give-a-way Owners are making a mockery out of our great game by overpaying the "stars" and raising the bar so high that every year some "unappreciated" .250 hitter threatens to quit. So what? What else would he do to even remotely equal what he has in any other field?
A genuine "star", team leader, or .350 hitter has a claim to be paid according to his talents, but it borders on the bizarre when the marginal players demand, and are given high salaries because the "average" has gone up to such a ridiculous level.
Nothing beats a game being played by skilled players on the College or High School level, playing because of a love of the game, without "agents" shopping them around to the highest bidder.
