More on Parity by Dan Wetzel

Baseball's parity principle

Yahoo! Sports' Wetzel wrote on the payroll subject from this season. It's clear that a Wal-Mart-size payroll does not guarantee a championship, maybe not even a postseason ticket (e.g. Boston). Teams, get wise, spending more does NOT win more games.

Do you know that Yankees has ~$164.5 millions committed for 2007 season salary, already??!!

2007: $164.5M
2008: $111M
2009: $78.45M
2010: $41M
2011: $4M
