And I once did. Right up until the second player strike. The first
one, well, okay, they were doing stuff like pensions for the old
timers who never had a chance to have a million dollar contract as
well as taking care of themselves. It made decent PR. But since
then, phtoooie on the players, the owners, the whole greedy bunch of
them.

BTW, I've not noticed kids out anywhere doing a pickup game of
baseball in forever. Street hockey, street soccer, garage
basketball, but not pickup baseball. They're playing, but with mom
and dad taking them to practice and the games and with coaches and all
that crud. How are you going to get the spirit of baseball when
you've got a real diamond and people watching and coaches telling you
stuff? Not to mention uniforms.
