A Nice Precedent

December 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Major League Baseball announced that for the first time in history, the average salary of players in the major leagues will top $3 million. Yes, $3 million, even for no hitting position players, bad pitchers, and most of the Chicago Cubs. But, in one act, the baseball planets may have realigned. Most winters, the Yankees […]

Callous Disregard?

November 22nd, 2010 · No Comments
