Wanna know why baseball is a business and not just a sport?

Look at the gist of the article (by AP no less) - here they are on one hand being all moral and coming down on the cheaters for you know ... cheating. Then they talk how each of these players can come back to help their teams in the playoffs. It's the same with the commenters.

What does that say?

It says to me that getting the big prize is all that matters even if it means breaking rules. Winning the big prize is a different thing. Winning involves playing the game at your best and being the best, but where everyone gets a chance.

The former is more like a business. The latter is more democratic, the way a sport should be.
