.its some of the other sports like baseball or b-ball. And I assure you, their careers go much longer than 3 1/2 years. Baseball is complex. How do you treat people in the minors? If you count people who ever play in a major league game and only count their time in the majors the average career is quite short, but many of them spend years in the minors (of course at a much lower salary). Maybe that's true of the bigger clubs like the Yankees or the Red Sox but for teams like the Mariners with much smaller payrolls, most guys are brought up from the minors in their very early twenties. Basketball careers are also quite short, even if they are longer then NFL careers. A player can play for a long time (at least for a professional sports career), but there are lot of fringe, end of the bench players who have very short careers. Most baseball careers go at least 12-15 years. There are any number of guys playing to their early 40s.
