Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Rodriguez deal a bad move all the way around
Ken Rosenthal employs an army of straw men to prop up the latest diatribe against escalating salaries.
Ken, the fan's love it. Absolutely yuck this stuff up. Did you look at attendance marks lately? The AL is at an all-time high, twice as many people attend games now as did in the idyllic 1950's. Same with the NL. Teams pay these salaries because they want to make more money not less.
I'm not saying that it will work, but I'm betting the ticket manager's phone is ringing off the hook at the Ballpark in Arlington.
