DeYoung: No matter how much players are paid, baseball entertains

leaguers Hm k to people who

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

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

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
