Major League Baseball Strike

[MinnesotaKid]

Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation are living at, just below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure salary level. And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life-giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation. But you can help!

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will help!

Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a baseball player it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing in Florida or in the Mediterranean. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with COBRA, but to a baseball player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.

Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging during the strike on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples suffering.

Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.

YES, I WANT TO HELP!

I would like to sponsor a striking MLB player. My preference is checked below:

[ ] Infielder

[ ] Starting Pitcher

[ ] Ace Pitcher

[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of a specific team - $10 per minute)

[ ] Alex Rodriguez (Higher cost: $60,000 per day)

Thank you for your support!!

I think we should start a PAC to abolish money. Do you the think that the old money Texans in the White House would support it?

pisses me off when people die doing their job and these fucking baseball, football who ever gets paid more then them

thats just fucking wrong

i dont think any player should be paid but if u have to pay them it should only be what they are really worth

like u just pay for their food and trips and places to stay but they do everything else

i mean shit you should work just like everyone else right

dont give this practice bull shit..thats not work...

players in no fucking way help the econmy

the people who pay to see the god damn game do

shit pay the players less and it will help it even more cause then people dont have to ditch as much out to see the damn game and can spend more money on something else

just pisses me off when people say they dont get paid enough or even if they do get paid the right amount

Reverse the roles then see what you say.

[war59312]

i say all sport players should be paid what they are really worth
