In my lifetime, baseball salaries are the only thing I've seen where the dollar amounts just keep going up, up ,up, year after year, decade after decade. Even Microsoft stock occasionally takes a tumble (specifically, whenever I am heavily invested in it), but baseball's never did.
So, in the middle of a deep recession, and in a world where a backup shortstop hitting .220 can pull down $5 million per annum, a correction seemed somewhat inevitable.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
