I would rather have a hig World (Ihampionahip ring than an extra .Vi million a year Hat k to baseball Ba< k to those rotten and grandy major leaguers Hm k to people who went on strike Inaaiise they did not like tin' salary c ap the own ers were trying to Implement. ()! course the players didn’t like it Why should tlu>>' I'he only thing that would change if baseball had n salary i np would lx‘ that the fans money would go to the owners, not to the players the ones who ai tualts play the game and provide the entertainment The owner* wouldn't lower ticket prices because they < laim they are losing money and that they have to have salary caps in order to not go bankrupt But owners who really want to win find a way to get around the cap — |ust look at Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboy* Do you really think they had an extra $35 million sitting around, waiting for someone to give it to? And then Deion Sanders just happened to come along? (ones rearranged salan«*s and used bonuses to lure Sanders to Dallas Even if major league baseball did get a salary tap. it wouldn't mean less money for the players, it would only mean more trick* for general man agers and owners to perform If money and salaries an? Mich i» concern to owner*, then they should *11 just sell their ten ins Hey, I've got a couple hun dred dollars, won't that buy me the San Diego Padre* ? There are so many players who simply love to plav the game Ryne Sandberg is coming l*n.k to ba<sel**ll after a year and o half off. not I a* ause he needs money but because he missed the game (al Ripken has played every game for over thirteen years and I don't think it's because he's being paid by the hour The bottom line is that pro fessional sports, including baseball. are part of the enter tainment industry. People go to the games and wall h them on television Ihs a use it is fun These men are paid to go out and perform eight months out of the yrsir 1 don't «» anyone putting "striking fan" sign* on saelt at the movie theaters where Jim Carrey's latest movie is play ing, even though lie got pain somewhere around $20 million for working on it for six weeks True, baseball doesn't start up again for another five months And true, they still do not have a contract with the league. But don't let the cynics make you think that the players are all money-hungry |erks, Im-i au.se they are not Anri even if they are. it doesn't matter because baseball will always lie baseball, no matter how much the players are being paid Androa DeYoung is a sports reporter for the Emerald.
