Ball Players Makes Salaries that are in huge amounts

This Applies with The Yankees and sometimes other teams, but mainly Yankees.
Because players have huge salaries, teams need to overprice everything to meet their needs of paying salaries. Hot dogs, hats,sodas,pennants, are all overpriced.
Hot Dog:$5.00
Hats:$32.00
Sodas:$4.75
Pennants:$10.00
Tickets are a whole new story. As I said in my previous post,even upper-deck seats cost a lot even if you are in the back row. Here is a breakdown of ticket prices for the 2008 season.
Tier Reserve:$30.00
Tier Box:$48.00
Loge Box:$65.00
Main Box:$100.00
Field Championship:$400.00
And how can they do this in our economy? People wanna relieve their stress by going to see a good old ball game, but their money gets sucked out of them. And that's if you're living alone. If you want to take your family out to the stadium, no meals for two weeks is how much they'd be screwed. And why do they make so much? They don't even work. Tons of people make under 100,000 dollars and the people that have their jobs still have their jobs hanging on a thread because so many people are being laid off. It is outrageous how they make millions of dollars doing nothing but hitting around a ball and running the bases. Closers come in for one inning and still get a lot of that moola. There should be a salary cap in Major league baseball and it should be $20.

A-Rod Has Pros and Cons

Pros:He is a great hitter and fielder.
Cons:He took steroids.
Pros:He has hit over 500 home runs and is the youngest player to ever achieve that.
Cons:Upper-Deck seating is $50 and hot dogs are $5. Everything else is over priced because of him.
Pros:He has a good arm.
Cons:He cheated on his wife with Madonna. Excuse me if I spelled her name wrong.

People are lazy television-watching shoppers

Most of our time is spent watching the television. When we watch television we are hit with numerous commericials that want us to spend money on things we don't need or already have six of. So, we go to the mall and splurge and throw our money out to the corporations.
