The game is the important thing. Not stars, not big money, not the long ball. Can it get anymore fucked up? First fire Bud Selig. Get someone who will preserve the integrity of the game.

This from the guy that threw a perfect game while drunk. I get where he's coming from, but MLB will never do what he's asking, nor will the Players' Association. Too much money hangs in the balance, for all of them. Ha! This from the guy that threw a perfect game while drunk.
