It's the same argument that public education is facing right now. Big money has convinced states to pay teachers less and less, and require more and more. And now college kids are making the choice that teaching "just isn't worth it professionally." It will negatively affect everyone including business.

There will always be a sport/job that is the lowest paid. That is no reason for anyone to get a pay increase.

The players and owners are both doing way better than good. I vote lower the damn ticket prices. The average fan can't afford to take the family to a game and enjoy some stadium food.

BTW that was a real 1952 Topps Mantle which was burned. The card store owner who burned the cards was quite specific about making sure everyone knew that it was "THE" card.

For affordability, minor league games are where it's at. It's really, really unfortunate that they killed so many MiLB teams to save a few bucks...
