Why should a hard working guy pay over $200 for a family of 4 to watch a baseball game? He'll get decent seats, maybe a beer and a soda for the wife and kids. Nothing fancy. And the guy playing right field getting a sun tan and going 0 for 4 that night will make more money on that night than the guy in the seats will see all year. BULLSHIT!

In 1964 Detroit Tiger Al Kaline turned down a $100,000 a year deal with the team stating that NO baseball player was worthy of such money!!!!!!!

Speaking of baseball, RIP Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Tigers for 42 years, who passed away today at the age of 92. A Hall of Fame broadcaster who will be sadly missed, and to me, a Hall of Fame person whose voice and game calling will always be etched into my child and adulthood on those hot nights sitting on the porch listening to the ball game. Thanks Ernie for your dedication to the Tigers, and your will to live so long, so privately, and so quietly with so much dignity.
