With the exception of Jordan I have no idea who any of them are and I only know him because it says so on the vack of his shirt.


Richer? possibly but not by much.
More globally famous? not even close

Salary-wise Alex Rodriguez (the baseball player pictured in sunglasses) is one rich fellow. Last I heard, he was the highest paid team sport player in the world, including soccer. And while American football doesn't have much worldwide following, I wouldn't underestimate the fame of baseball players internationally. Baseball is not a worldwide game to the extent soccer is, but it's not the single country sport many of its baseball-igorant detractors think it is.

Then I feel sorry for you and your totally isolated life. How do you manage with the Internet?
