We fund it, but the politics of baseball involve all the in-fighting of dividing up our funding. And like I said, it’s maybe 1,000 or so people who can’t agree on how to divide up several billion dollars. That’s the frustrating part. As for our stake being minimal, however they resolve really doesn’t impact us. We only need a resolution one way or the other...

But what is the return? We get entertainment. We get no share of the main assets they are arguing over....
-
Our stake is minimal at best. The politics of baseball boil down to maybe a thousand people angrily fighting over how to divide up several billion dollars....

Per Passan, this one is on the owners. He wrote about how a partial season with no gate could represent a huge financial loss for many owners, and they’d just assume there be no season instead....

He’s certainly the longest tenured. And not as much of an idiot as Masseroti...

I know. Shortened season? New rules? Weird playoff format? Count me in. It’s stil baseball. Except the 3 batter minimum rule, which is stupid and only in consideration for pace and TV considerations...

Most of the released players were 25+ with little experience above A-ball. There were a few surprise ones, at least to me, such as Marina Campana, Samuel Miranda, Andre Colon, Zach Schneider, and Breiner Licona. But Bloom does know these players better than I do...

I respet Snell's decision. He isn't coming from a place of entitlement. This can be a very serious illness, and a player actually infected might be asymptomatic and notice no difference. But he also might experience serious lug damage, enough that he is no longer capable of playing at the required level. Snell doesn't so much need the money,as he has a lot guaranteed over the next 3 seasons. But maybe he prefers not risking actually being able to play...

And their careers are insanely short in the majority of cases. The average career length in one study is 5.6 years (so, not enough time for the big money-making free agency). And 20% of the position players play less then one year....

And when e-sports becomes a bigger deal in this country, that will matter...

... not counting tips..

Oh man. Made it interesting. And then where are Tim Duncan and the vastly underrated John Stockton in all this? And where are Dr. J and Larry?

At least trying to quantify the greatest NBA player is a bit easier than the best NFL player...

I’d think Kobe is a leading candidate for that 7 spot...

MLB has a short season in 1994 with no postseason. So maybe reset interest after a strike?

Hope your back soon (along with baseball) and all is well. You can beat this like Mookie on Orioles’ pitching...

Now if I had to pick my own? That could be interpreted two ways

Boom...

Good one...

I know. But Minute Maid might have some contention with regards to paying to have their name on display and mentioned during all Astros home games. And suddenly this FITTEAM is getting their air time. It’s probably a bigger factor than you realize...
-
Of course, you have yet to acknowledge Airplane! and Game of Death versus Space Jam...
-
But I think I see the owners’ side. For example, Minute Maid paid the Astros a ton of money to play in a stadium bearing their name. But if the Astros played their games in FITTEAM Stadium, how’s that going to work? Is FITTEAM expected to pay more for extra exposure? Does Minute Maid get a refund?

Arizona and Florida. I like the Cactus League and Grapefruit League suggestion

Now that’s a good argument for MJ...

Ok. Now say I posited that Kareem was the NBA GOAT based on his career Win Shares. What’s the defense for Jordan? Also worth noting but outside the argument, Airplane! and Game of Death were both better movies than Space Jam...
