Hey sports fanatics i got a question for you. I am trying to find an evidence for the following point. A Salary cap evens out the team since if a wealthy owner buys all the A-list players and dominates the league then there's no point in playing. Please provide me an example.

Only if it is a hrad cap, like in football. The soft cap in baseball only means a fine if they go over. The red sox, yankees, and a couple others have no problem dropping some extra money to win. However some owners like to profit off of the money and these are the ones well below the cap. So, long to short. A hard cap is much better to promote even teams, than a soft cap in a sport where the penalty is easily paid to be the best.

Sorry ...doesn't work. Two of the richest owned franchises are in Minnesota and Kansas City. We're talking Forbes Richest List. Its not the wealthy owner buying all the A List players ...in some cases, it's the guy who doesn't WANT to spend the money that allows other owners to come in and buy. It's not just Steinbrenner and the Sox - George isn't even ON that Forbes list ...but Pohlad and Glass are..

It wont work in baseball since they have a luxary tax for any team over a certain line like a salary cap ) and those rich owners don't seem to mind paying the tax which is basically like the fines teams pay when they are over the salary cap. salary cap penalaties in football and luxury tax in baseball

Wow, yea, what Kevin said. Best way to describe a cap I've ever heard. Nice job dude, that was perfect-o.
And I am NOT being my usual sarcastic self. I mean what I said.
