Amazing. I would be happy to read that 500 old men were awarded/given a decent pension to aid in their last few years. I'd say good for them. A small slice of the billions now spent. I do not need to get something for me in order to feel good about someone else getting something. I don't allow my past to dictate what others should get or how they should feel. But...that's just me.
You state that you are very grateful for your pension yet begrudge Fanzone's chance of getting more for his MLB pension. You state "Is that Fair"? Do you want equal misery for all? Perhaps you should have gotten a better job and gotten a better pension. If Fanzone gets more money then it is not coming out of your pension or your pocket. Fanzone spent 11 years in baseball. His getting a bit more out the billions now spent shouldn't trouble you. Why wring your hands over an old man getting a bit more?
You ignore the time Wright spent in the minor leagues struggling to reach the majors. And you ignore the arm injury that knocked him out of the majors. Do you think Wright pitched only 24 games by choice? I do not want to give huge money to people that did not earn it. But Wright is one of the people that built MLB. Getting a small slice of the billions now spent is not asking too much.
