Perhaps these ballplayers are getting PAID TOO MUCH!!! I can remember back in the 60s when Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax held out for $100,000.
The Chicago Tribune ran a graphic earlier this month with the average baseball salary going back to 1989, when it was $512,804.
Here are some selected years since then (all are rounded off):
1992 $1,084,000-- breaking the million dollar mark.
1997 $1,384,000
2000 $1,988,000
2001 $2,264,000-- breaking the two million dollar mark.
2005 $2,633,000
2008 $3,155,000
2009 $3,240,000
2010 $3,298,000
Well, that explains the price of those beers.

In the 60s, people took acid to make the world look weird. Today, people take Prozak to make it look normal.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
