The news broke this morning that Andruw Jones has agreed on a preliminary deal with the LA Dodgers for a measley $36.2 million for two years. Now, IF he were a member of Ebenezer, I would say NOTHING!!!! (and hope he would tithe!) But, seriously, it boggles my mind that a baseball player would make over 18 million a year!
And I don’t even think about the loyalty issue anymore . . . That is long gone. When Brett Butler (Braves centerfielder from long ago) left fot LA for more money, I got mad. I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t know if I should be mad at him or at the front office in ATL.
In the modern era, nothing like this shocks me anymore. And maybe it is time for Andruw to move on.
