MLB salaries down slightly
This ESPN.com article analyzes the current Major League Baseball salary information, concluding that the median salary for ballplayers (i.e., the salary at which exactly half the players are above that salary and half the players are below that salary) is $800,000, down from a high of $975,000 in 2001. That figure is really more important than the average salary ($2.49 million), which is driven up by a relatively small number of extraordinarily high salaries. ARod is the highest paid player ($21.7 million) for the fourth year in a row, and behind him on the highest-paid list were Boston's Manny Ramirez ($20.4 million), Toronto's Carlos Delgado ($19.7 million), the Yankees' Derek Jeter ($18.6 million) and San Francisco's Barry Bonds ($18 million).

(Median, not mean. Mean = average.)
