Seems like I'm forgetting a couple of the things that I thought of during the ride home and I'm too tired to give it much thought.
See, I understand that- but before, baseball had people working for a labor that was unfair. I expect the right to earn as much as I'm worth, and I find it very hard to oppose anyone essentialy asking for the same thing. I see the idea on the large scale, but the owners would be making more money if players made less- what they charge you is almost irrelevant of their costs- its what you can bear.
