1. How many people do you know make $400 thousand dollars a year? I don't know any. Legally speaking, 400 k is the least amount a baseball player can be paid, even if he sits the entire year out and doesn't play an inning.
2. Alex Rodriquez makes $500 times more than the average paramedic, teacher and cop. His contract is the example set forth for big name Red Sox players in the future, do you really want to support an industry that slaps the working class in the face?
3. Because we can! We control the industry because without fans, baseball fails; it's simple. Not many people want to spend $500 for four tickets and some hot dogs.
So don't. Let the only sounds on opening day in Fenway be the players making $400 thousand chewing gum.
