AROD is making more than George W sold the Team for (The team was sold for $225 million). He will make $17,000.00 per inning so your right can you imagine what flak an umpire will take if say He ejects AROD in the first inning.
BTW Manny Ramierez signed with the BOSOX for a reported $160 million. Also, guess who is on deck - Derek Jeter - Wonder what he will cost the Boss.
Lets put things in perspective. I'm a Met fan and I took my Girlfriends 2 kids and my young son to Shea last year. The day cost me (includes ticket price of $35 / seat) $370.00 - REDICULIOUS. My car lone isn't that much. Something has got to give sooner or later.
The Small market Teams (Pittsburgh / Milwaukee / Twins / KC - to name a few) will be forced to fold because they simply cannot compete. It would be wonderful for the Mariners to make the playoffs again after the departure of both Griffey and AROD.
I say make 1 division in baseball by Payroll. Put all the high priced teams in 1 division and let them fight it out - that would make it fair for all the other teams.
