The one and only time I will even bring this up

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Alex Rodriguez is my favorite non-Ray in all of Major League Baseball, and I don’t care one bit that he did steroids.

That is the first, last, and only time you’ll hear me mention the topic here. In fact, I’d like to propose a moratorium on discussing the steroid matter unless it directly involves a Rays player being suspended.

ESPN Reporting Bud Selig’s $18 Million Salary

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

ESPN.com is reporting that Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig took home $18 million last year, up 22% from the previous year. The article goes on to state that, in the MLB, Bud’s salary is surpassed only by four Yankees: Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, and Jason Giambi.

[Update:] Apparently Roger Clemens just missed the mark, only having earned $17,442,637.

A penny for your thoughts? (Bud could probably spare a few!)
