Maybe it's because acting is looked at by the average Joe as something not everyone can do, while baseball is what a lot of us do every summer? Then again fans have only themselves to blame, they've gladly said with their wallets that they'll pay and pay to view the same game that was once view-able for free (on tv anyways), to say nothing about merchandising and what not.

Could be, not should be. If the MLBPA wants a bigger slice of the pie, negotiate for it....or go on strike again and hope fans are more NHL like and less 1994-esque.

Heck if it lowered salaries lets do FA every year. The off-season would be insane!
As for the OP, probably buy a CHL team.
