January 25, 201016 yr QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 11:26 AM) Mo Rivera has made 114 mil for being a reliever. Then again, he is the best ever. $105,000 / inning pitched
January 25, 201016 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) $105,000 / inning pitched That's not that much more than Dreifort.
January 25, 201016 yr I would not have guessed that jermaine dye is in the top 100 highest paid players of all time. I've always found his deals so reasonable.
January 25, 201016 yr Konks? Please never use that "nickname" ever again. Also, why is the title "Career/Season Earnings"? This has nothing to do with any season(s), it's strictly career. I would love to see the highest career-to-seasons earnings though, (basically highest average salary over a career).

Sorry, the post would have been too long, so I took off the highest seasons... You can go to baseball reference and check it out. You like King KONK better?
January 25, 201016 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Notice how many former Dodgers are in bold, lol. I count 5. There's like 20 former Yankees on there
