Are You Kidding Me?

Nobody is worth that much money. Or are they? $9 a second may sound extraordianry, but it's now in baseball history. Carlos Stanton worked hard to get where he is at. Some believe he deserves to get paid that much for all that hard work. But over $30 million a year and $325 million for 10 years? 
I personally think that this is ridciulous. That much money for anyone is way too much. Is this what it really takes to keep a franchise going? Some teams' total starting line-up payroll can be less then this single player's annual salary. But I guess this is what happens when you reach celebrity status. Who knows? One day I may have to wrestle with this similar issue. 

The Next Day

Not going to let a little rain ge me down.  Fortunately, Coach Bryan (Adam Kennedy Baseball) gave me the rock the following morning for our 8:30am game.  6 1/3 innings - 2 hits - no runs.  Not much beats the rythm of throwing off the bump and in your groove while your serving up a mixture of moving two seamers and a jock dropping off speed.

My First Post

Within minutes of arriving to our first game at Tempe Diablo Stadium, a monsoon quickly overtook the field and we were needless to say "rained out."
