You've had your say and there is nothing that can change your mind.<br /><br />The one quibble here is that there have ALWAYS been teams that could not compete. The KC A's could not compete. The St. Louis Browns could never compete. And there will never be any belief from this chair that teams that do not compete just from being poorer. Bad management has a large piece in that component. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment.William J.

To this very day, I still see his face on the back cover of the Daily News, everytime I pay $19.00 to park my car at Citi Field; $240.00 for four (4) seats in the upper deck; and $25.00 for a hot dog, one (1) slice of plain pizza, and two (2) sodas that a vendor didn't even bring to my seat. I still see his face on the back cover of the Daily News when yet another player tests positive for steroids, and doesn't get kicked out of the game altogether for it. I see his face on the back cover of The Daily News when I look at small market teams who, with the exception of the Miami Marlins, absolutely cannot compete with the rest of major league baseball. Lastly, I see his face on the back page of The Daily News when I look at my cable bill, and realize that I used to get 160 games for FREE on regular TV, and now realize that the only REAL reason I ever got cable (30 some odd years ago) to begin with was so I could watch my team durng the baseball season.<br />So, as far as I am concerned; ROT IN HELL MARVIN MILLER. Maybe the guy who wrote this article has forgiven you. But, I NEVER will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
