Internal Revenue Service to MLB players: "Ix-nay on the free ickets-tay!"

Not to get too political in this web community, but when you think about the fact that we have a President who is a former MLB team owner... who has managed to really bungle our nation's coffers...



Geesh.  Could are government be THAT desperate for money?



Assume that the average ticket price is $50.  Assume that a player's fmily of SIX was going to go to EVERY game of the season (look, highly doubtful, but I'm makin a point here... REALLY).



That's $48,600.  Both home and away games.



Well, come to think of it... that is a nice chunk of change.



While families aren't going to go to EVERY game, it still adds up.



I didn't start this post believing I would praise George W... but let me end it with: "Good idea, George!"  This just might pay for the tires on a Humvee in Iraq!
