From my corner of space in Denver, the win by the Red Sox in this year’s world series is meaningless. What’s more meaningful is the Rockies reached the same place in the post season as the Sox with a payroll nearly 25% of the World Champions.
Baseball is in a horrific free fall right now. With Alex Rodriguez opting out of his New York Yankee contract and the possibility that some fool (perhaps the Red Sox?) might pay him 35 million a season (20 million less than the entire Rockies team) is just plain stupid. I hope baseball gets it together soon. Teams like the Yankees and Red Sox are a blemish to the great sport of baseball. 200-million dollar payrolls are costing the average working person the chance to take their kids to a game without having to sacrifice a mortgage payment to do so.
Hats off to the Rockies! — I can still get a ducket for $7 and ride the bus to the field to save on parking. That makes them the real winners of this year’s baseball season!
