 Focusing on the important stuff
Sure there are starving people in the world, and war, and a lot of pain and suffering and sickness, but hey! It's time to re-focus back on what's truly important to Americans: Baseball. I mean, really, stop fretting about the World Summit, and turn off that report about an invasion of Iraq -- tomorrow we could be faced with an act that digs at the very foundation of our society. Tomorrow we could be faced with a Baseball Strike What will we do? Who will help those poor unfortunate Baseball players, barely subsisting on a seven-figure salary? Luckily, there is something you can do as discovered by Michael Mussington: For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will help! Read more, and remember: only you can help a baseball player.

I actually think a useful discussion to have is what to do with all the ball parks that are shortly going to rust permanently unless they are put to some other use. Posted by: Dorothea Salo on August 29, 2002 02:00 PMI think we should plow them up, and plant organic corn in them. Kind of like Field of Dreams but in reverse. Posted by: Shelley aka Bb on August 29, 2002 02:40 PMPoor baseball players, I should donate my life savings right away. Sure, that would only suffice for a few days, but if every little bit will help.. Posted by: tomas on August 29, 2002 08:22 PMPost a comment
