Life Through the Eyes of an Ambulance Driver » yankees http://jasonblog.anvilgear.com Like it or not, this is what I think Sun, 25 Dec 2011 16:07:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Insane money http://jasonblog.anvilgear.com/2008/12/17/insane-money/ http://jasonblog.anvilgear.com/2008/12/17/insane-money/#comments Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:19:53 +0000 admin http://jasonblog.anvilgear.com/?p=120 YARPP]]> My brother sent me a link this week relating to the insane deal that C.C. Sabathia got for signing with the New York Yankees. C.C. is a starting pitcher that went from Cleveland to Milwaukee last year and is now a free agent. He just signed with the Yankees in a record deal of 7 years and aproximately $160 million. It is rediculous how much people are getting paid to play a game. Anyway, the link he sent me lets you enter your anual salary and how long it takes for him to make your salary. At $21,000 a year that I make, he only has to throw 2 strikes, not even one out. I don’t understand how on Earth anyone could ever be worth that kind of money for a game. How about teachers, EMT’s, Police officers, military folk, or anyone who actually makes a difference in people’s lives and have some real value for what their efforts provide. Entertainment should not be that lucrative, but that is what our society has decided is important.
