Answers:
Will the Yankees be in first place ever again this year?
It mostly has to do with the crazy attendance and tickey prices throughout the league. If the owners were losing money they wouldn't pay that high of salaries. They can generate enough revenue to justify the salaries. Its simple economics. Since the demand is there the price goes up for the tickets. Since the supply of talented players is lower, the price for them also rises.The box score shows how many pitches were for strikes and how many total.?
how so? hell, if the owners are pulling in millions of dollars every year, why shouldn't the people who make the owners money get a piece of the action?Why hasn't a major league team picked up out of favour second baseman Jorge Cantu??
Their union...the players association is arguably the strongest union in the country. The union is the reason their is no salary cap as their is in other sports. So, basically their is no limit to what they can make...and as long as teams like the Yankees make a lot of money they can afford the high payrolls that they have.Would you rather have Dice-K or Felix Hernandez?
The better they are or the more talent a team sees in the player the more he will be offered. If the franchise has more money then the offer will likely be higher. The more mechendise, tickets, and consessions at the game help raise money for the franchise. 50,000 people at a game paying $50 for a ticket really adds up. Then if everyone buys a hot dog and a drink thats about $10 because they jack the prices up. Then they have jerseys, balls, hats, and other items that can sell for about an average of $20. It all adds up.If you have been on T.V. at a Cubs game or a MLB game, what did your sign say?
apparently for Roger Clemens it involves just chillin and showin up when you feel like it. for 28mill. that sounds pretty good.Consider that the 4 largest metropolitan areas in the US have 2 teams a peace in New York, LA/Southern Cal, Baltimore/Washington DC, and Chicago. There is a lot of money flowing into the piggy banks of major league baseball that gets filtered back into the players' wallets.
When you play for an league that pulls money from all most every major city in the US for 162 games, all of that money ADDS up huge, and if you are a good ballplayer, the union is going to make sure you get a good chunk of it. Face it, major league baseball generates itself to be a billion-dollar industry.
Even people like me who work for large corperations (Safeway) can't shake millions of dollars from their feild of work like a proffesional athlete playing in a big time US sport such as baseball. It is what it is, the players make money off the enviroment that they "work" in.
Do you think that Alex Rodriguez plays under the "Roger Maris syndrome"?
It depends on the players market for them. it's like the stock market it goes up and down every year. look at 2001 all those huge contracts, this still haven't top thw two biggest contracts.How is possible that one pitcher throw a no hit no run, and any batter low yor average?
If I understand your queston which is a big if. If a player is a pitcher, he has a base salary, then he may get a bonus for almost anything. It could be like he get an extra 100,000 if he wins 15 games, are throws 150 strike outs in a year. More or less anything that his agent can get for them.More Questions & Answers...
