Saw the figure. Un-freaking real.

Well, im gonna guess high because of the response, 10 mil?

FairWarning · Apr 3, 2007

The body of work by Bud Selig made Bowie Kuhn God-like in comparison. I was stunned.

Journeyman · Apr 3, 2007

keep guessing lol

I mean what does he do? Or should I say what does he do right?

ClipJoint · Apr 3, 2007

Whatever it was, he didn't earn a penny of it. Worst commissioner in a long time in any of the major sports.

What about Gary Bettman? Neck-and-neck there.

8. Manny Ramirez, BOS $18,279,238
9. Todd Helton, COL $16,600,000 :think2:
10. Andy Pettitte, HOU $16,428,416
11. Magglio Ordonez, DET $16,200,000

I would guess that the MLB Players Union pays him too ... after all, he is Donald Fehr's little bitch.

The Commish who let the All Star game end in a tie ... that is worse than Bettman

ECS · Apr 3, 2007

Damn, wtf! Baseball needs a commish with balls!

VaultedTreehouse · Apr 3, 2007

I think the Football Commish makes similar.

ClipJoint · Apr 3, 2007

How can anyone justify Selig making $14 million?

I am in shock. :WTF:

I think the guy has done a good job...And CEOs are making 50 mill. I don't have a problem with it.

he is basically the CEO of baseball and that is what CEOs of major companies make.

Journeyman · Apr 3, 2007

Clemens got 22 million for 3 months worth of pitching
Chan Ho got 2 million for each win
Bud Selig makes as much as Albert Pujols.
Jeff Bagwell 20 million for nothing.

And I would pay to see those players over Selig too.

Bonds is way too high, for the elderly version.

I was really looking forward to rebuilding this season with Bonds, Durham, Feliz, Schmidt, Finley, etc coming off the books...instead, they resign everyone that wasn't worth a damn and let Schmidt walk.

Then they pay Zito that ridiculous contract. A disappointing off season to say the least.

It will be a long season for Giants fans...still one of the worst bullpens in all of baseball.
