Craig Calcaterra comments on an excellent Scott Boras profile from Fanhouse that we missed while dealing with two sick kids, but highly recommend checking out.
Boras truly came from nothing and built his business through a lot of hard work. He wasn't gifted with clients via his dad's golf buddies. He didn't inherit a portfolio. He gives tons to charities. He's a family man. He has employees who have worked with him for years and years and they all speak well of him. And despite all of that, he'll always be thought of as evil because he has demanded that billionaires give his mere millionaire clients a greater cut of the revenue they produce. His clients are rich and famous, but in the world in which they operate, they are the little guy, relatively speaking. We almost always root for the little guy in this world, but not in baseball, and not when Boras is involved. Why?
