finger, there is one party that is seemingly forgotten, the precious fans. They find it hard to sympathize with

the people of baseball and their multi-million dollar problems when they earn a living to pay for overpriced

tickets, soggy hot dogs, flat beer, and all of the other novelties that accompany a day at the ball park.

America is waiting for someone to stand up, wake up to reality, and realize this is just a game. It has

land will be fed up and not watch you play.
