[QUOTE="pickup, post: 575241"] I don't know how to do this multi quote thing but I remember your initial statement is something like " scott davis makes less than most baseball players" . I might have somewhat different figures for davis' salary and the mlb players salaries but I'll work with yours as they are in the same ballpark(pun not intended but I'll keep it) as mine. You're quoting me an average which is inflated by the outliers such as the top 25 salaries you offered. The median of the salaries is different than the average. A median would tell you that half of the players make less than that number and half make more than that number. I pulled these 2009 numbers off of some website (which I am too lazy to credit): the median salary (the middle salary amount of all 818 salaries) for MLB players was a cool $1,150,000--up a whopping 15% from the previous year. If your point is that there ballplayers that make more than Scott Davis, then agreed. But if you are trying to say that most mlb baseball players make more than Scott Davis, then I disagree. [/QUOTE]
