Ain't nuthin' new, my bruddah!

the MLB teams of yesteryear had greenies and beer.
Hell, there was a time when Ironworkers did rails on the beams, and coffee breaks were mollies breaks, and everyone was having hops and barley sandwiches for lunch.

i'm for HGH as the new cortisone shot! Carefully and strictly monitored, made available to all for medicinal purposes only, what's the big whoop? If it can help all MLB and can be used to rebound quicker and stronger from a hammie or an acl, then why not allow it for ALL teams?

And it is, SADLY, about the money!
Look what the money factor did to our Stripers in the 80's???
SUX! But for some folks, the call of the dollar is greater than the Call of The Almighty Himself!
And that's what often separates the best of the best.............in all walks of Life.

Is any job on this planet worth 25, even 20, million dollars a year to be paid to a single individual for playing a sport? And now we are getting into the whole Capitalism argument, but MLB sort of creates this dynamic with their refusal to implement a Salary Cap. It worked for the NFL, and i am very curious how this would effect MLB ~~the whole luxury tax dogbone/trickle down effect is a farce!!

To whom do you answer, or who is your Master?
