So the only baseball-based massively multiplayer game out there is now letting you shell out real life cash for in-game levels, giving you access to better leagues, tournaments, and I imagine making your players into tricked-out monsters. Apparently they didn’t learn the lesson EA did when they attempted to sell upgrades for people in Battlefield: Bad Company.

Blue’s News calculates that you could join up today and boost yourself up to the maximum level for just over $200. I call foul, but on the other hand I think it’s a “fool and his money are soon parted” situation.
