This takes the cake!

I almost fell out of my chair when I read this. Are you going to be sued because someone didn't realize their dream?

Ex-minor leaguer could sue MLB

January 6, 2008
NEW YORK (Ticker) - Major League Baseball could face a class-action lawsuit from former minor leaguers who believe they were denied a fair shot at making the majors because of steroids in the game.

Ex-St. Louis Cardinals farmhand Rich Hartmann told the New York Daily News he is considering filing the lawsuit, and has support from former teammates.

"Was I cheated of my dreams of a big-league career?" Hartmann said in Sunday's Daily News. "I don't know. But I do know there were thousands of guys who were right on the doorstep between 1990 and 2005 and they were cheated because they didn't use steroids."

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

I think it's MLB's own fault for looking the other way on steroids all those years, I think they actually have a case.
