If it helps you think about the difference between Yogi and ARod, the Yankees' TV deal was worth $75,000 in 1946, the year Yogi Berra broke into the major leagues. This year, the Yankees got $85,000,000 for their TV rights, and that will go up 5% per year per terms of the contract. So ARod may or may not be 500 times…

@R-Star: yeah, in my experience it's way too easy to get overly excited about or overly turned off by sending too many emails.
