The logic in your article could be used to argue MLBers shouldn't make millions. They should be happy to play. I believe minor league pay should keep up with inflation. In the same time inflation has increased 400% minor league pay has increased 75%. That's not right. Without an anti-trust exemption baseball could never get away with it.
