This is not the time of year for greed and avarice. #SaveHometownBaseball #SaveMiLBaseball... https://twitter.com/bmadden1954/status/1197984858506747905
... @MLB’s plan not only rips #baseball away from 40+ small towns and cities, but the owners of the affected teams would be left high and dry, without fair compensation for their many years of work and their assets being taken. Thousands of @MiLB staff would be left unemployed,...
... people who aren’t very highly compensated, yet love their jobs because they love #baseball and love providing AFFORDABLE and fun family entertainment to ⚾️fans. That’s aside from the countless seasonal, local jobs eliminated locally in barren ballparks all over #America...
... And don’t believe that your #baseball is safe just because you’re not in one of the markets being EXTINGUISHED. Nope, this diabolical plan decreases the revenues of the remaining @MiLB teams, while increasing the expenses, assuring that a large number of them...
...will no longer be profitable. You see, people, this plan would be the beginning of the end for minor league baseball. @robmanfred and the @MLB clubs want to knock it all down so that only the best market teams remain...AND THEY CAN MOVE TO TAKE THEM TOO. So shortsighted...
...because @MiLB has always been one of the greatest assets of @MLB. Countless millions have become @MLB fans because they were raised in @MiLB parks. So why? Why this and why now? It doesn’t even make sense. Here’s why...
...Commissioner @RobManfred and the billionaire owners don’t care about well over a century of #MiLB history, or their good and loyal partners, or the livelihoods of those partners, or their life’s work and the fruits of it. Moreover, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU, AMERICA, only $...
... This plan shows that @MLB doesn’t care about working people in blue collar towns and cities, about rural America, about the working middle class and poor, about children and families who are geographically or economically deprived of @MLB....
... They don’t care because all of you affected, and all of us working in #MiLB all over the country, because well...we just aren’t Major League enough for them. Please help stop this #America. Commissioner @robmanfred, THIS isn’t our national pastime, it’s a national disgrace...
...Please help #SaveHometownBaseball. Please #SaveMiLB. Contact your Senators, members of Congress and local officials. Use social media to tell @RobManfred, @MLB and its teams what you think. The future of baseball is in your hands. The fight has just begun. Please help! 🙏 ⚾️
