I love how they don't mention that Wonderboy was nothing more than a FAILED businessman whose daddy and his rich friends bailed out. Nope, he's just listed as an oilman and baseball owner ... yea, owner ... about as big an owner as my pinkynail.

You define elitism....

1: leadership or rule by an elite 2: the selectivity of the elite ; especially : snobbery <elitism in choosing new members> 3: consciousness of being or belonging to an elite
