All around the country, Major League fans are getting excited by the best harbinger of spring...Truck Day.  That's the day when teams pack their gear into some nondescript 18 wheeler and head south for Spring Training.  
Do the Rays even have a truck?  Or do just they toss some gear into Pat Burrell's Escalade and drive across the Sunshine Skyway?

Way to go, MLB.  Limit competition and destroy a hobby, all in the name of profits.

Business Week Power 100Longoria"Longoria is one of just two male athletes on the list not to bring in at least seven figures (he can thank the MLB pay scale for that), yet many consider the second-year pro to be the best at his position—topping even fellow power athletes A-Rod and David Wright. Combined with his marketable face, that should spell big bucks down the road."
