baseball its possible to get more superstars than others if you want to pay the penalty.

the closest to me is football (ie, soccer), but again that may be 3 out of 10 players on the field at a time.

sure, but a baseball team is 25 players, you can't really fill 15 spots with all-stars. - groiny Jul 5, 08:16 7
- right, just look at Trout and the Angels. He's Lebron of MLB but can't carry his shitty ass teammates to the Finals every year - Beaker Jul 5, 08:18 1
  - even when the Yankees were buying all the high priced free agents, they could not fill 70% of their roster with all stars. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:23
- I agree, the closest example is really soccer. hockey can stack a line in a game, but there are multiple lines so it isnt as crazy. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:17 4
  - but nobody would notice a soccer game being played. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:18 3
    - in the US sure, but in the rest of the world, Neymar is a bigger star than the entire Warriors team. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:21 2
      - but the rest of the world is full of rapists and criminals. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:22 1
        
        so politicians? -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:24
