Baseball is dying. Bloated salaries are being paid for through higher ticket and vending prices.

I agree with you. But tickets are even more bloated for football, right? And yet the parks there are filled every Sunday.

But football is different- every game is crucial when you play 16 games a season, there's almost always a playoff type atmosphere. And with parity in the NFL, every team has a shot at the Super Bowl... well, almost anyone- someone get John Fox a glass of water and elevate his feet.

Take a family of four to a baseball game and you spend $145 minimum for a game that relatively means nothing in the midst of a 162 game season.

Baseball needs to change the game- make the season shorter, raise the mound, make the All-Star game mean something like giving the home field advantage of the Series to the winning league.... Something...!
