Did you know this MLB player salary fact (bq info)?

The top 20 players in overall career earnings have netted a combined $2.9billion in a combined period of over 345 seasons.

Bill Gates earned 100Million more than this by himself last year alone.

Interesting right?

    Yes, it's almost as if there were a class of people who could, by some accident of birth, AFFORD to pay out 50-200 million dollars a year for a baseball team on an annual basis. A class of people who had a ridiculously disproportional amount of the nation's wealth, but don't appear on the cover of People magazine or Sportscenter.

    Imagine that.....

    Hmm, so why don't they allow Bill Gates to own a team. He could own my Jays any time he wants is hes going to dish out that kinda cash.

    we should kill all of these rich people and start paying off our national debt... these kind of numbers are depressing when you are working full time and going to school while making 8.75 an hour. =(.
