If Bernie Sanders were an MLB general manager,he would probably be the type who chases bargain playersrather than signing free agents to mega contracts.The presidential contender posted a video on his Twitter account Lou Gehrig Jersey Saturday showing him at a campaign stop talking about raising pay for school teachers. And he used baseball salaries to make his point.MORE:"If we are a nation that can provide contracts tobaseball players for hundreds of millions of dollars, don't tell me we cannotpay teachers in this country the kinds of wages andsalaries they deserve," Sanders said.If we are a nation that can pay baseball players hundreds of millions of dollars, don't tell me we can't afford to pay teachers Mariano Rivera Jersey the salaries they deserve. Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) Sanders might have been referring to the huge contracts signed this offseason by Bryce Harper with the Phillies andManny Machado with the Padres, although contracts worth more than nine Sonny Gray Jersey figures are the rule rather than the exception now for baseball's top stars. Sanders' comments predictably drew a wide range of responses on Twitter, some serious, others definitely not. Here's a sampling: "Depends on the teachers WAR." "I don't know many teachers with a high batting average." "Damn right, Bernie! Get my mom a raise." "Bernie speaks in support of paying teachers more and people fall Luis Severino Jersey down a rabbit hole on how baseball players are paid. It's about valuation. We, as a nation, clearly reward athleticism more than education." "My math teacher struck out more than Bryce Harper." "Teachers will continue to receive le s pay than other career fields, until an importance is placed on a valuable education. As a former educator, its a shame to see how many parents could care le s about their childrens education. This country Joe DiMaggio Jersey needs leadership that inspires." "There are le s than 1000 players that can do what they do.. Skills pay the bills." "My tax dollars don't pay for ballplayers my ticket pays their salaries. That's called the free market." "Screw this. Im gonna stop sending my kids to school, and just send them to baseball games."
