Baseball Player Nicknames #2

Would've gotten Big Puma. Never heard Fat Elvis before. Only one I didn't know.

Nah. The players were fighting a larger share of an already-huge pie. It sounds insane that a player making $15 million would demand more money, but remember it's a percentage of a whole. The owners were getting a disproportionately large share of the profits. If you and your colleagues were doing all the work, and the owner was taking most of the money for himself, you'd probably be upset too. Plus, the owners withheld money they had already committed to contribute to the players' union as a middle finger to the players. And this is to say nothing of the fact that most baseball players have very short careers. We all think of baseball players like Mike Trout, who will make $500 million in his career, but what about the middle relievers who only get to play for two years? They need to maximize every cent they can get. They're in the union too.
