When I read this, I wondered how Ollie isn't on the list.

He’s making more than De La Rosa.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

I highly doubt Jason Bay is the richest athlete from Canada.

He might be making more per year, but he’s not richest in sum. Also, Evgeni Nabokov has a lot richer than Nik Anthropov (Kazakhstan).

Save Jenrry Mejia!

The sample pool only includes MLB players and clubs

I’m pretty sure that in all pro sports though, there might be a few athletes richer than Jason Bay

No, it includes all sports.

It even stretches the definition to include yachting and motorcycle racing.

Yachting

is a real man's sport.

The title did start with "We lead MLB..."

So I based my above comment on that

I was referring to the whole list, though.

Steve Nash is VERY underpaid

I'm thinking NHL.

Guys like Crosby, Healtey, Thornton, Richards, Brodeur, Luongo, Pronger.

Save Jenrry Mejia!

by Ogre39666 on Apr 23, 2011 1:37 AM EDT up reply actions

Meaning that there is no way Bay should make more than Nash.

Or any of the guys you have above for that matter.

I didnt know you get so much

to drive a stinkin car

by rcnt123 on Apr 22, 2011 12:37 PM EDT reply actions

I agree

I know so many people will say “I cant believe you get so much to play ANY sport”. But seriously, driving? Take any random joe and that can probably do NASCAR. Obviously they might need to do some endurance training for a little bit but I honestly don’t see the skill required to drive in a circle for a couple hours. It would be one thing if it was a complicated track, but a circle? Thats ridiculous.
