Keep in mind that Babe Ruth's reply when asked why he believed he should earn more than the President was "I had a lot better year than he did." Well then let's compare the ratio of Ruths salary to the President's back then and the ratio of Juan Soto's salary to the President's in 2025. The ratio is exponentially higher these days. That's what has caused many fans to shake their heads in disgust.
