it has and so do many other baseball fans. There was once a time where a father could go to the ballpark with his family for $10 and see their favorite Yankee play‚ but now things have changed. For a family of four to go see a Major League Baseball game it will cost them anywhere from $200 to $250 to sit in tight‚ compact seats‚ while trying to watch the same man as everyone else is.

I have never been the girl with a cannon for a throwing arm nor have I been dubbed as the team’s ‘power hitter’ with five home runs in a single season‚ but that has not stopped me from seeing my true potential and recognizing what strengths I do have to offer. I am aware of my shortcomings yet I am still striving to be the best player I know. My teammates have seen me work my way from having no idea what softball is to

Aaron Stout Argument Many middle and lower class Americans would agree with me that Major League Baseball athletes are dramatically over paid. Some of these athletes don’t think they are making enough money to survive on‚ which is ridiculous‚ due to the amount of money average Americans are able to live on.

Professional athletes get paid millions of dollars to play a game. Do you think they really deserve that much money for tossing a ball around? The money that pays the athletes for a game we all play competitively can be used for someone who actually shapes the future and fights for our country.

Although some may disagree about athletes getting paid more than 10 million dollars they do hard work for that money. I think that they should not be paid almost 10 million dollars because that type of money can go to homeless people and kids they can go to kids to get their diploma to go to college and get a good job. Ten million dollars could go to buildings that are needed. In my opinion is i think it should go homeless people more than anything cause they could have been through a lot. For example
