"Record" numbers

January 18, 2008

Not for nothing, but I think we can eliminate the adjective “record” when describing how baseball salaries increase every year.

Baseball’s average salary rose 4.6 percent last year to a record (emphasis added) $2.82 million, and the New York Yankees set a high for teams at $7.47 million.

Like they’re ever going to go down? Perhaps after Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez retire, but other will probably come along to take up the slack.
