20 Million Dollar Club by Marvin Terry

Baseball Almanac is pleased and honored to present a series of original baseball related cartoons by artist Marvin Terry. Each one of his magnificent drawings takes a unique look at our national pastime — a game we love, a game we sometimes do not love...

"Perhaps the most surprising revelation of the (2000) winter meetings was not the fact that (Alex) Rodriguez and (Manny) Ramirez each got 20 million dollars a year in contracts but, rather, that the Colorado Rockies managed to sign not one but two pitchers. Of course, the 173 million dollars they paid them had something to do with it." - Sports Agent / Attorney Jeffrey P. Ouellet

Most fans know that Alex Rodriguez signed a ten-year contract during the 2000-2001 off-season with the Texas Rangers for $252 million paying him an average yearly salary of $25.2 million; BUT, did you know that it also means he gets paid $155,555.56 per game played OR approximately $51,851.85 per hour on the field?

How do you feel about baseball contracts? Are they normal? Should the revenue generated by baseball go the players, to the owners, or back to the fans (in the form of cheaper prices)? Share your honest opinion on Baseball Fever.
