While gazing at my cover of sports illustrated I noticed that 36
ball players make more than 1 million per. Now Dave Stieb has
become number 37 (and in grand fashion I might add).

The numbers reflected in the issue, along with the current
arbitration trend (which I see as - if any given player in the
league has worse stats than me, then I should make more than he),
what is the future of major league baseball. 

It could be said that as long as there are enough ego-maniac
millionaires out there, there will be a league, but is this really
baseball?

I would like to hear from all you hard cores out there. Should we
all start watching indoor soccer?
