Another Reason this Country is Messed Up

A-Rod could pay Marlins' salaries, still have $6 million left

Alex Rodriguez might be laughing in this photo, but I swear this isn't an April Fool's joke. The Associated Press just did a study of baseball's contracts and found that the Yankees third baseman makes more than the entire roster of the Florida Marlins combined.

Not by a little, either.

At $28 million a year, A-Rod makes much more than the 33-member Marlins opening day squad (a total that includes its disabled list), which will take home a relatively shallow pool of $21.8 million in 2008...

We place too much value in things that really don't have that much value, in my opinion. Owners and players both make more money than they should. I mean, IT'S A GAME! That is why nose-bleed seats cost so much and "good" seats require a small fortune. A cup of beer is $10, a corndog is $5, etc.
