Carlos Zambrano just signed a 5 year 91.5 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.

Now check this out. There are 186 games per season, if he is in a 5 man starting rotation he will be the starting pitcher in about 37 games, he will probably average about 7 innings per game and if he averages 4 batters per inning he will receive $88,320.45 per batter!!!!

And you wonder why it costs so much to attend an MLB game.

some of todays sports contracts are ridiculous, but owners are willing to pay them to draw in the fans to return on the investment... so many people hold out because they want 10 million a year instead of 9 or something... if i were them, i would gladly take the money being offered to them, its probably much more than they will ever need

They are all over paid and ticket prices keep going up. My brother and I went to a Giants game a few years ago. After tickets, parking, gas, food, and a couple of souvineers we were out $400.00!!!!! For one game.
