Bud Selig is One Rich Bastard

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig earned as much last year as some of the league's best players, receiving $14.5 million in the fiscal year ending October 31st, according to Major League Baseball's tax return - obtained by the Sports Business Journal.

Bob DuPuy, the league's chief operating officer, received $4.875 million and pay for executive vice presidents included $1.92 million for Rob Manfred in labor relations, $1.3 million for John McHale Jr. in administration and $1,245,000 for Jonathan Mariner in finance.

The guy who takes care of the finances actually made the least?

The publication, citing unidentified sources, claims Selig received a $6 million base salary, an equal amount in a bonus and the remainder in expenses and personal fees.

Interestingly enough, baseball's central office paid $77.3 million in salaries and benefits to 231 employees while the NFL paid $41.5 million to 839 employees. Hmmmm...
