yeah those guys are banking for sure.

Imagine how much money the guys who are paying them have.

Go Tigers!

I wonder how much a guy can make owning a baseball team.

If you can pay you're employees millions than you're making serious coin.

Thats like a program owner paying their models millions and millions.

My son is going to be pushed in that direction for sure...

steinbrenner owning the YES network helps

Every player got some manager, that is picking players price, higher the sallary, higer managers $. Without them these players that can't count 1+1 with earn 1000$ a month + fersh food at stadium :D

Similar with gangsa rappers :D
Only reason why they get so much money to look cool & rich and have all the hoes. Then poor antelopes from ghettos try rappin and sell as much hotdogs as possible to buy their records.

They're paid what the market can bare. Name players get fans in the seats and watching on tv/etc, casual fans that wouldn't normally be interested. I had a Japanese girlfriend that hated baseball... UNTIL Ichiro started playing for the Mariners. She was so into it we made a trip to Seattle to see a live game.

shit i'd settle for the league minimum $380k:winkwink:
