I recently read about one of the NBA stars complaining about how much money Miguel Cabrera makes because he thinks he should make the same.
When you compare the number of games played in an NBA season to the number of games played in an MLB season, the basketball player makes nearly than twice as much. (82 games in an NBA season vs approximately 162 games in an MLB season)
I have heard a theory that one of the reasons pitching is so strong right now in MLB is that a higher %s of athletic tall lanky white kids have started to opt for baseball instead of trying to compete with athletic lanky black kids in basketball at younger and younger ages. Now there are all these pens full of 95mph+ arms.
