They have all turned a great game into a joke. Worst of them all is Uncle Bud Selig who knew from jump street what was going on and never would have done anything if not for the Govt. investigating guys like Bonds. After that strike in 1994, the one that took out the pre-season, was really hitting the owners where it hurts. In revenue. Out of greed they were all happy to allow the "incredable growing heads and feet" movie remake because nothing excites fans like home runs. The 'roid fueled home run contests of McGwuire, Sosa, and Bonds helped save MLB as a major sport and they all more then happy to look the other way about the obvious 'roid use in the name of the almighty $$$.
And then after it all broke ole Uncle Bud stretched it all out and manipulated the issue until most fans said they were sick of hearing about it.
I go to a few games a year when I get free tickets. I dont consider MLB to be worth the prices and I couldnt care less who wins. Heck I can remember when a bleacher cost you $1.75 and now they want $60 for one seat. Then you have $20 parking, $6.50 for 10 oz of lousy draft beer. Hot dogs for $4.50 . Peanuts for $3.50 . Pop $4.00 .Water for $3.00 . Score cards $2.50 .
I just added it up. For a family of four to sit in crummy bleacher seats, pkng, hot dog apiece, 2 beers apiece for adults, a pop apiece for the kids, 2 bags of nuts, 1 water, and 2 score cards. It adds up to $324.50. To take your family to one freaking ball game its $324.50.
Man even if I was riding the rock pipe I wouldnt pay $324.50 to see a lousy baseball game.
