Bud- let's look at that demand curve again. You can charge more $$$ and serve a smaller customer base or you can charge less and serve a large customer base. You need to put the working crew (aka ball players) on an incentive program... perform on and off the field like regular folks.

Currently the only incentives allowed in contracts are for winning awards or making the All-Star team, or for "games played" or games started for pitchers, etc.

It's currently illegal to have incentives for specific statistical achievements and I hope to god it stays that way. You start having incentive clauses for homers, stolen bases, etc. and you'll warp the game. Guys will be stealing in the 7th inning with their own team down by 8 runs, etc.
