It is opening day for many MLB teams so I think this is a timely post:
This is nothing new and most of you have probably seen similar comparisons but I am always amazed (and sickened) by these numbers.
--Here is an article about MLB salaries that was written at the start of the 2001 MLB baseball season........three years ago!
--I am looking for a more current breakdown and will post it as soon as I can find one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In somewhat related news, the average salary for major league baseball players this season is $2,264,403. Alex Rodriguez, baseball's highest paid player at $21 million (plus bonuses) earns about $130,000 per game. If averaged out over the course of a year, Rodriguez makes $57,534 per day. The average household income in the United States is $54,842 per year. Rodriguez's yearly salary is just short of the entire Minnesota Twins' team, which is the league’s lowest at $24.4 million.
