OK, we get it. This guy gets paid $28 million a year for hitting a ball with a stick, while our poor suffering teachers and firemen and garbage collectors (aka The Real Heroes) receive a relatively small salary. Well, you know what? If you can demonstrate an ability to hit said ball with said stick as well as he can, I will give you $87 kazillion, 24 unicorns, a griffin, the moon landing, and any other imaginary thing you can come up with. You know why? Because you can't do it, because it is really, really hard.
So before you start your self-righteous rant about how these dudes get paid so much just to play a game, please go spend 20,000 hours of grueling practice and weight-lifting with no reward except like a 0.1% chance that you will get to spend 15 years of your life constantly traveling back and forth across the country just so 30,000 drunk people can tell you how much you suck every night and so your every move can be scrutinized and criticized by a legion of morons. Furthermore, go get a bachelor's degree in economics so you can understand the concepts of supply, demand, and scarcity. Then get back to me. I'll be over there enjoying the ballgame.
P.S. Excuse me? A-Rod? A word? Would you mind just cooling it with the waving the Benjamins around for a quick second? I'm trying to make a point over here to help you out. How's that?? Why I oughtta .... BOO!!!! GAY-ROD!!!!

Did you consider the children at all when composing this post? Just checking.
the part about the unicorns was for the kids.
Not sure if you intended Spoth, but you've made the anti-union argument in this column.
