I was saddened by Ted Williams passing yesterday.


Larry III

Me too. Anyone notice what Ted's payroll was for his entire career?
1.5 million bucks. That's about what a 240 batting average journeyman infielder can get this year. (Yeah, I know, it's OLD money). Also ask if any player would consider spending five years in Kuwait & Afghanistan during his prime years. Oh - and also ask, if a player today would take a pay cut. Ted took one in his last year because he could "only" muster a 314 average the year before.
If our baseball bozos actually strike this year, that's it for me.
May every pampered player have to find employment in a steel mill.

Ron.
