"I Make How Much Now, Ya Say?"

The release of Major League Baseball's most recent corporate tax return has revealed that, in 2007, Bud Selig, the sport's commissioner, was the fourth-highest paid person in all of baseball, with a salary of $17.5 million. Only Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Jason Giambi (who, not coincidentally, were all on the Yankees payroll) made more than Selig. In fact, in the "Big Three" sports, only a handful of players made more than Selig. He's also the highest-paid official in all of sports by several million dollars.

It's good to know that in these trying financial times, when CEOs are being drug over the coals for making a couple of million a year, that someone running shit can still get paid.
