<< they sould allow pro baseball players too. >>
They do...its just that the Summer Olypics and the baseball season are at the same time. Chad Curtis wanted to go to the Olympics, he proposed that he be knocked down to the minors, since the Rangers aren't going anywhere anyway, and then he could go (the minor league season ends about 25 games earlier than the pro season). However, the pres. or manager of the Rangers said no for some reason. If I remember correctly, he said no because it would set a precedent or some B.S. like that.
