Haha, what sensitive little flowers we have here on the board.

"I stopped reading at the point where it didn't paint Trout in the best possible light."

Maybe someone can hit him up for a quote as he's leaving Nobu.

That actually has a chance of being sad, but true.

Have you been on the 405?

What kind of loser pulls out his phone to take a picture of a guy and his wife when they pull up to a place for dinner?
Creepy as f.

Here is Memorial Stadium and the parking.  Can you imagine today, bumper to bumper parking?

It was Memorial Stadium.  My first major league game ever - 1977, Orioles vs. White Sox.  I went to games in Ripken's rookie year as well.  I am not sure I have any better childhood memories than going to Memorial Stadium for Orioles games.  I can still vividly remember so much.
If you parked in the parking lot in front of the stadium, they parked 'em bumper to bumper.  You weren't getting out until everyone else was.  Damndest thing.

Banned earlier. 

I've always disagreed with this. Much rather my heart be broken than not even be in the game.

Stop comparing the crappy job you had in high school or college to minor leaguers. You didn't get drafted to out of high school to flip burgers at McDonald's halfway across the county. They didn't cap how much money you could make based on when you were drafted. When Burger King offered you more money or better conditions you could go there and work for them. MLB isn't a free market. Everyone saying "you're worth what someone will pay you" are using that in the wrong way. As MLB owner Steve Cohen pointed out, draft picks are worth 5x their investment costs. 
But beyond that, everyone pointing out that Arte should invest in minor leaguers is right. NCAA programs invest so much money is food and training facilities. Owners spend so much money on their big league teams (I'd argue they should put more in payroll). But for the price of a decent middle reliever you could pay every minor leaguer in the system enough to be able to afford food and rent and they could focus only on being a good baseball player instead of making ends meet. It's classic penny wise pound foolish behavior from Arte.
