Thanks EC!! It means a lot coming from you! I have to admit, your Southern Association dynasty was my inspiration. As a student of history, I found it very interesting to hear about the past from your perspective.
I agree about player salaries and performance. It's why I think owners will shy away from long term contracts in the future, although some are already going that route. I've always wondered why there aren't more performance clauses used in MLB.
The Cardinals are the best, though! Went to the St. Louis chapter of the Baseball Writer's Association dinner in January and it was great to see the legends there (Lee Smith, Ozzie Smith, Bob Costas), as well as the up and coming players (Harrison Bader, Jack Flaherty, Jordan Hicks). Miles Mikolas, Matt Carpenter, and Mike Shildt were also there, which just made it that much better!
