What Price Progress
Free Agency!
Revenue Sharing!
A Minimum Wage!
Birth of thel Players' Union
Dawn of a new era
The way forward!
A progressive agenda
for professional baseball
in the 1970's and '80's...
So, how are things now
in the 21st century?
Baseball stars switch teams
like kids change horses on
a merry-go-round
The multi-million dollar gladiators
are not just players anymore
-- They're corporations
The average fan can't
afford a ticket to games that
drag on interminably --
three, four, five hours...
Home Run! We Win!
The hi-tech scoreboard explodes --
For how much longer? And for whom?
