Mike and Mike in the Morning

Tired of listening to the reports of murder and mayhem on the drive time news? If you have a even a small interested in sports, change over to ESPN once in a while from 6 am to 9 am and watch Mike and Mike in the Morning. http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/show?showId=mikeandmike

The 7AM chat topic today is filthy rich ball player salaries. The NY Yankees brought C. C. Sabathia into the corral with a $40 million dollar ( annual salary) carrot. Mike Greenberg put up the stat that the average American median income is $ 50,238. C. C. will work for 1/2 an inning and earn that figure. It's no wonder that you have to mortgage the farm to go see a professional baseball game. We prefer the AA and AAA ball games, you can see them locally and there is less of the celebrity circus atmosphere. Just baseball and fun, for a quarter of the price.

Is there a comparison between a ball players salary and a GM CEO salary? Is it a situation of equitable pay for equitible work?

Do ball players manage their money better than GM?
