Is it? The Twins pulled in over two million in 1987, 3 million in 1988 and 2.2 million in 1989, beating the league average each year (they beat the league average again in 1992). They won the Series in '87 and '91. So, it's not a stretch to assume that they would outdraw some bigger market teams if they made a serious run at the Series or won it (especially in the hypo under which we are currently working). If the Mets drop to the cellar, they would most likely still earn more (better tv contracts, etc.), but it's not that big a jump.

But let's move on to something interesting since we're living in fantasy land, because there ain't gonna be extensive revenue sharing or a salary cap in baseball.

Somewhere in the back of my brain I remember reading about a m-to-f tranny trying to play in pro women's tennis events in the 70s/80s, but she was banned. Anyone confirm?
