I'm sorry but I'm confused by your reply.
I did check baseball salaries.
The salaries of employees actually going out on the field and playing
baseball, especially the ones doing it brilliantly, consistently are higher
than the salaries of those managing the teams?
From the little bit of research I was able to do today it appears the
current strong economic position of the players is the result of the
development of the *Major League Baseball Players Association*.
Here is an interesting web site on the subject.
