Yah, I know. You're shocked.
...a small Minnesota town is bracing for the proposed closure of a factory partially owned by the league.
"For more than two decades, Miken has been one of the largest employers in Caledonia, Minnesota, a community of around 2,800 people. Currently, its factory makes the batting helmets used by all Major League Baseball players and composite bats for softball.
"But soon, the batting helmet production will shift to Missouri and the bat production will move to China. For Caledonia, a town tucked into the southeastern corner of Minnesota, the shift means good-paying jobs leaving town and most leaving the country."...
(Bud Selig says "What's the complaint here?? I brought Red Chinese steel in to build my playground. It was cheap!! Isn't that the whole idea??")
Selig doesn't mention that the Red Chinese steel girders were seriously flawed.
Just another screwing for Americans. Nothing to see here. Move along.
