The IRS likes to know how much money people earn every year so they can take it away from you and give it to other wealthy people or a useless war, you know stuff like that. Well, apparently MLB commissioner Bud Selig made a cool 18 million last year for his "efforts" as commissioner. For you math geeks, thats 45 times the constitutionally determined 400K the president of the United States is compensated for his or her "efforts". I'm not really sure what Bud Selig does. It's hard to do less then George Walker Bush, but i'm pretty sure Selig has accomplished that feet. He probably signs some papers, lets games end in a tie, and sits dumbfounded as the all-time home run record is surpassed for the first time in 3o years. Oh, he also plays the role of Donald Feir's bitch in front of congress every now and then. I needs to get me a job like that.
This kinda puts forth the issue again of how the players in MLB are compensated the least amount of league revenue than any other sports league. If Selig pockets close to 20 mil, then what are the owners making these days. let's stop complaining about the 20 mil Teixeira will make for playing one of the hardest sports at the highest of level 162+ times a year, and more on Selig and the owners making much more just sitting on their butts all day
