I've never been against Major League Baseball not having a salary cap. I have countless associates who tell me that it makes the game unfair. Small market teams tend to build their franchises through strong farm systems & crafty signings. Big market teams that generate high revenue have the money to sign big money free agents. I actually can't think of a game that reflects America more than baseball. Baseball is popularly known as America's past time but also carries a strong reflection of it's social climate. You examine sports that do have salary caps & find that has advantages/disadvantages that are very similar. You work with the resources you have & make the best of it. Small market teams have found huge success in baseball. Big market teams may have it easier by having the money & prestige to sign big names that doesn't always guarantee success, just ask the New York Yankees. You win some, you lose some but you strive for the victory doing it what you've got. Only in MLB baseball, only in America.
