That's an interesting way to look at baseball, but, ultimately, the best team wins. That's good for the game, isn't it? When the invisible hand is allowed to work, when the marketplace adjusts salaries, ticket and hot dog rates? Players should play to win, according to the rules of the game. Managers should manage to win, according to the rules of the game. Shouldn't owners own to win, according to the rules of the game of ownership?
The unions seem to be obsessed with rewriting the rules that apply to ownership -- the rules of economics, that is. But, that's what unions do.
Oh, and, if there is a type of 'capitalism' that thrives in an atmosphere of forced mediocrity, then, NO, I don't like it.
I am an advocate of Free Enterprise. Free Enterprise has rewards the best efforts of people.
