Wow, two baseball players will receive $331 million to play a game ("Angels sign Pujols, Wilson," Dec. 9). That's almost obscene, yet we applaud it.

I've been an educator for 25 years. I get up every morning at 5 o'clock, drive 50 miles one way to work and spend the day educating and caring for special education children. While I haven't done the math, I would imagine that Mr. Pujols makes more in a week than I make in a year — or two.

Don't get me wrong. I love my work, but it would be a great day when educators make millions of dollars and ballplayers made thousands.
