Earlier this week we got a pretty cheeky proposal from Red Reporter Evil Professor Emeritus Charlie Scrabbles, a concept that - legalese aside - makes so much danged since that it’s silly.
What if Major league Baseball Players gave a big ol’ finger to the owners wrecking the game, and just made up a new league themselves? Many of them have made hundreds of millions of bucks, with A-Rod perhaps approaching a thousand million. In theory, if they put their noggins together, they could put together a new, player-owned, player-run league full of players and players and non-billionaires, putting a product on the field that’s far more about the love of the game than it is about equity increases and revenue the way it’s become in modern MLB.
