no idea if he will get it but that is insane. no wonder the average dude cannot afford to go see any professional game....

Unfortunately (or fortunately for A-Rod) that's the market that baseball has created for itself.

 

That is just crazy! Pro athletes make INSANE monies these days. Beckham contracted $.5B. CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow thats a Lot of Money

We are talking Jay Z, 50 Cent and P Diddy Money Right THUR! lol

 

yup... free market. If the average joe doesn't want to pay for A-rod's salary, then don't go to the game.
I don't like his salary demand but i agree that he should get what he can.

 

that is just total greed....more power to him though..... i have no idea who actually goes to games.... it sure as hell isn't me.

 

yup... total greed but that's capitalism.
supply and demand.
I'd rather spend that $150-200 for something else rather than 3 hours at the ballpark (ticket, parking, hot dog, beer, etc).

 

ya, i was trying to take my family to a Steelers game.... it will be a minimum $1500 by the time we drive, pay for tickets, eat and maybe stay a night then come home.....

or.... I could buy something pretty cool for $1500.... a used golf cart to ride around the neighorhood in, a new bike, a set of wheels for my car....

 

Wow, what a greedy biotch.

 

It makes me ill to see those kind of figures. People still watch baseball?
