People say this as if small market teams are run by some Mom & Pop operation on a shoestring budget. Bottom line: there are 30 MLB teams and 585 billionaires in the US alone.

“You think I enjoy this?”

Well, it *shouldn’t* have been close.

His legacy is winning a national title as a freshman at Syracuse. 

Go back to putting it in glass bottles and calling it Corona.
