Why Baseball Players Are Actually Underpaid
Two of my favorite hobbies, baseball and economics. Quick read, nothing mind blowing in the article, but the comparison with the NFL and NBA was interesting. Baseball players can play longer than their counterparts in other leagues but also start later and make less while in the minor leagues.
