TAX THE RICH? Imagine that the Red Sox decide to levy a tax on superstar players like David Ortiz. After all, it’s not fair that Ortiz should get all those at-bats where he can hit home runs, RBIs, and otherwise produce results for the team. No, instead, Ortiz should give 9.9% of his at-bats to players on the bench, who don’t get to play as much. FOR HOW LONG WOULD ORTIZ STAY IN TOWN?
