[QUOTE]While America is a verboten subject, Iran is not. Farsad Darvish says he is involved with a program to promote baseball in his native country, and Yu wants to help bring the game -- President Bush's favorite sport -- to Iran. "Yes, of course, because Iran is my father's country, I'll help him make baseball popular there," Yu says. "I know how much it means to him."[/QUOTE]

Re: $75 mil just to talk to Yu Darvish

ridiculous.. makes me sick to think of these youngsters (in any sport) unproven and making way more than so many great atheletes ever did waaay before them, even after having hall of fame careers.. its all this feeling of entitlement that these spoiled atheletes are raised with since the day were able to hold a bat, dribble a ball or run a route.. they are drooled over, dont live by the same rules and held to such a high regard, sometimes even above the law.. its sickening
