Jason LIf baseball went the way of Socialism and concentrated on an equalized distribution of resources, we wouldn't have innovation and change that often results from participants trying to gain competitive advantage.
For example, we wouldn't have the evolution of strategic thought that has risen from the efforts and talents of Bill James and Billy Beane. Without incentive, there is no effort.
James, if you want real frustration, perhaps you should try switching over to become a Cubs fan. That is real failure. -because on Chicago's North Side, there has been deep pockets for decades, but accompanied by an aversion to spending money, in combination with at any given time, truly inept management, coaching, and player development!
