I remember when Blyleven played for the Pirates (my home team). He was probably one of their best pitchers, but eventually, he moved on.
Glad to see he is being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He deserves it.
I grew up in L.A. where the Dodgers back then had a great farm system. Since destroyed.
But it must be very hard in a place rooting for say the Pirates and along comes a star say a Bonds and he will not stay cause the market is so small they cna’t afford to pay him.
While year in and year out the Yanks can just buy whatever they want, they can afford it.
