With all due respect, baseball players are no more or less greedy than football or basketball players. The same goes for the owners. Professional sports in general have gotten “out of hand” with salaries and ticket prices. The average middle class family cannot afford the cost of attending as many games as they could a decade ago. Only the upper income fans can afford to attend very many professional sport games today.
