Do you thin Players in this Era Play the game of Baseball with a Passion or the Money?

Question

Well some player i think they play with the Passion and love for baseball, but some play for the Money.

Also do you players from another era played for the passion or money

Answer 1

In this day and age, many are playing for the money. Look at the Yankees, corrupting baseball. However, there are still a few players who play for the love of baseball.

In the past, players played for the love of baseball more than anything.

Answer 2

in the past, they played for passion....

now, most of them is for money... they go to who will pay the most money, where in the past, you wouldnt see a player changing teams as much as they do now

Answer 3

In this era, money, back then, passion.  Some players still play for passion, mostly old school players, and pitchers though.  It really is sad =/

Answer 4

Not only the players have passion for the Money... Team Owners have it to...

For them, Baseball is no more a glorious game, but a business... that's why they allowed some of their players to take steroids and growing hormones. Cause with them, they'd do it better, more home runs, more fans, more fans, more money...

That's the way it is.

But I think that there are players who really love the game, like Lou Gehrig, or Hank Aaron, for example...

Let us hope baseball will be again the game that it used to be.

Merci!!!

Answer 5

I think the players play for the passion but they are also concerned with the rest of theeir life so the money has to be a factor when you get to free agency.  You do not get to that level with having a high level ofpassion for the game, your talent will only take you as far as your passion allows you to go, that is one of the main reasons why I flamed out at AAA, I did not have the drive and passion of the other plyers that did make it to the majors, to over come adversity...it takes a lot of drive and psasion!
