What is the Major League Baseball salary cap for 2008?
There is no salary cap in MLB. There is something called a 'luxary tax'. This is a 'tax' on the amount of salary over a threshold as decided by the labor agreement between the players and management. For 2008, this threshold is $155,000,000. Any team whose total salaries exceed this threshold will have to pay a 'tax' on the amount over the threshold. This tax is 22.5% for teams that have gone over the threshold for the first time, 30% for teams that have gone over the threshold for the second time, and 40% for teams that are over for the third time or more. The money accumulated from luxary taxes is placed in a fund and divided among small market teams.

Was there a baseball league or team called the Toronto Ship Builders around 1916-1922?
I have looked the Internet over and have found no mention of the Toronto Shipbuilders. I can tell you, from my readings of baseball during that era, that many factories had baseball teams. Many major league ballplayers went to play for factory teams when they were forced to 'work or fight' in 1918 during World War I. So there probably was a team called the Toronto Shipbuilders during that time but I have found no information about it. I would be pleased if someone who reads this could find some information and post it here.
