reaper,

I remember once in the late 1980s when the players went on strike and caught hell from the public, Pete Incaviglia (low average, power hitting, mediocre fielding outfielder that bounced around) tried to explain the reason for the strike like this:

"A lot of people think we're all making $3 million every year and are just greedy jocks. What the public doesn't realize is that most of us only make about $500k."

And the salary bubble was born. <G>

The AVERAGE salary is now over a million.
