I’m not sure what was a bigger surprise when I learned MLB owners and players have agreed on a new five-year labor deal. Is it the fact I personally hadn’t heard any complaining from either side or the fact they agreed without waiting until the last hours before work stoppage like 2002? I really think you could debate either point and it would be hard to say your wrong, but the bottom line is MLB didn’t bicker about who is the richest for the first time in a long time. I commend the players and the owners today for taking the high road this time rather than the normal pathetic contest of who can piss farther.
