Keaton in Baseball Drama

Hollywood star Michael Keaton has angered the bosses of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Keaton's local team, by telling them how to run the gamut. The Batman star was a special guest for the struggling baseball team on Monday. While there, Keaton criticized the owners for not spending more money on top class athletes. The Pirates payroll is the fourth lowest in the major leagues, which is leading to their string of defeats. This led to a fierce backlash from Keaton. The actor says, "Look, I'd do it, too, if I were a businessman. But, at some point, you've got to win. I think fans have been gracious. And maybe not vocal enough. Maybe not vociferous enough with their displeasure. That's my opinion. I fear they (club owners) will take advantage of the good will of the people who continue to show up. For my money, that's disrespectful. At some point, you either have to write the check or do something and not assume, well, we're OK."
