     Unfortunately, the players have become less loyal to the fans as the salaries have continued to reach the stratosphere and beyond.  With an MLB salary cap-- when it happens-- you'll see many players spending their careers with one team once again.  Don't get me wrong...  I have no problem with players becoming multi-millionaires, but there needs to be a little check and balance.  It works in the NFL and NBA.  The problem in baseball is that the thunderous rise in salaries adds up to big increases in the price of tickets and even parking at the ballparks.  Ten to fifteen bucks to simply park your car at the stadium is absolutely ridiculous.  Yet, despite all this, the fans have remained loyal to their teams for the most part.  The players should remember that their loyalty is the main reason why they are able to fluorish in "the show".  Before thinking about getting that top dollar, the players should think about the average hard-working loyal fans who sacrifice a lot just to see them play.
