How much is Enough!!

In today's Baseball we see it being about money and more money and contract this and contract that. As of today Albert Pujols turned down a multi year deal worth millions from the St. Louis Cardinals. He is stating that isn't even close to being enough to keep me. As a fan of Baseball I say that is enough and should be a cap made so that this spending spree is stopped. It is getting so out of control that we as fans are paying the price at the gates and in our seats. the concessions are getting way out of control also to pay for these players making millions of dollars and only putting up marginal numbers for one season then next season have a below average one and still making a guaranteed contract. I say if you didn't give the same performance or better you don't get the money. This will alleviate some of the burden to the fans. I say we need to cap things to each position and a valued mark per season stats. This will give the game more competitive and better players for fans to see. I have seen the best baseball played when players didn't have the free agency. I am not saying they shouldn't get paid what they are worth, but what is that number. This is the greatest game ever invented and played in this great country of ours.I do not wish to see it go away just be regulated better with the spending of payroll to their players.

As of now we have several clubs in financial crisis. the New York Mets may need to get a new owner to survive and staying to be competitive. The Florida Marlins have not had a Million fans for the season since 2003 (their last World Series run)and are on the verge of being contracted. The club was made by MLB to raise their payroll so the Union would file grievances for under paying players. Yet they are building a new ball park costing the fans tax dollars to build it.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have no clue on how to build a winning team and lets all their players go when time to have to pay them Major League money. So they rely on the Yankees and Red Sox for luxury tax to have revenue. Not another good way of spending money and costing fans again.

This is way out of control and should be looked at again from the owners stand point and the union to see where the cut off needs to be. I see less and less fans at the ball parks in coming years if these salaries keep getting more out there. We as a nation are in a recession and can't afford thousands of dollars for a seat for a single game and on top of that hundreds of dollars for a hot dog and coke.

Please MLB bring back My Baseball game and bring me some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks at a reasonable price and to see my heroes on the field play.
