Salary Cap in baseball
In baseball, there is no salary cap. This is a major problem for a few reasons(http://dfarq.homeip.net/article/20040218191639287). For one, this allows team like the Yankees to spend nearly 200 million dollars and buy every good player available. They do this year after year too. Last year they picked up Alex Rodriguez and his 283 million dollar contract. This year, it was maybe the most dominant pitcher to ever play the game, a 6'10'' southpaw who goes by the name of Randy Johnson. Another reason why baseball not having a salary cap is that small market teams, like my beloved Reds, stand no chance to me the World Series. Unfortunately, this is not just a problem that my Cincinnati Reds must endure, but all of baseball must suffer through this too. While the large market teams are signing all star players from teams who can't afford them anymore, the small market teams are forced to play with rookies and salty veterans whose careers are coming to a close. My question is this: What needs to be done to make baseball more fair, and what should the salary cap be?

Mr. Beatty, the hyperlink you include in your post is a bit odd. It appears to be a portion of a paper written, perhaps, by some bewildered sophomore fulfilling a term paper assignment for a college course. Such references should be avoided at all costs. The internet is fraught with scholarly work of a dubious nature. Your role as a blogger should, in part, weed out the dubious content in order to make our job, as readers, more worthwhile. Thus, it would serve you well to find another hyperlink reference for this post.
By the way, do people really pay money to buy papers from websites such as www.DirectEssays.com? Given that Marietta College subscribes to Turnitin.com, it would seem to risky to buy papers from such paper-mills.
