This really can't be true can it? This is nuts, in the Globe and Mail there is a story saying that everyone's favorite commissioner, Bud Selig was paid $17.5 million in 2007.

His compensation was listed at $17,470,491 for the 12 months that ended Oct. 31, 2007, according to the return, which is available at guidestar.org. That was up from $14,515,071 in the prior 12 months.

That can't be right can it? Please tell me it is a joke.

and they say the players are overpaid

but they are the best could of hundred in the world at what they do, and the ones who make that kind of money are even better (on average). Meanwhile, there are millions of folks who could do Selig’s job as well or better.
