1. A stiff arm to minor league pay increases. You might have heard about the federal lawsuit that three former minor league players filed against MLB a couple years ago, alleging that minor league pay scales violate minimum wage laws. That lawsuit is still going through the courts, but MLB has found allies in Congress. Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) and Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) introduced a piece of legislation called "Save America's Pastime Act."
That sounds like something we'd all approve of, right? I mean, who doesn't want to save baseball? I bet you didn't realize baseball needed saving!
