Well stated - MLB propaganda- the owners never open up their books to show how much they make. Meanwhile, every player salary is public knowledge. Fans are jealous that a player is paid a large sum of money. But they also can do things that very few human beings can do ( hit a 100mph pitch and/or throw a 100mph pitch).

At the moment, I like 4 ownership groups in the MLB, the rest can get...
