Thequesters, as much as I love the new ballparks, I don't like the idea of taxpayers funding them. I agree it doesn't help baseball's image. If the Giants can pay for their own ballpark I don't see why no other team can.
In baseball it started with Camden Yards, or more specifically when the Colts left Baltimore partly because the city wouldn't build them a new facility. Camden Yards was built with a lottery, which is less offensive to me, but since then ballparks have been built with hotel, restaurant, and rental car taxes and such. So when you rent a car in some cities there's a big stadium tax attached to the price.
I suppose there are worse things that taxpayer money is spent on (and I'm not going any further down that road), but that doesn't make it right.
I know most of us will travel to Miami to take the Marlins stadium off our lists but does anybody else feel that the way this particular stadium deal went down is bringing all of baseball down with it?
Hey Chuck,
Congratulations on publishing your book.
We just ordered my copy of your book and we can't wait to read it!
