all this list does is convince me sports “hero’s” are over paid babies. There are plenty of people who work much harder that can’t afford their houses and food, let alone private jet flights for their kids so they won’t have to be bothered to fly first class with the commoners.

Rube Waddel had a clause in his contract that he could not eat crackers in bed, as back then players had to share beds and his room mate did not like the crumbs in the sheets

When the Cubs signed former ChiSox reliever Neal Cotts last year, they threw in a $25,000 bonus if he could win the World Series MVP. The Cubs actually win a pennant, and a reliever is their MVP??? Yeah maybe…

Dice-K gets a personal masseuse? I guess that’s legit considering the strain they put on themselves, but with the millions he’s making I’m sure he could afford one himself.

Straight Cash Homey is my new favorite website. Ethan you’re a genius.

I need to take a picture of my Yankees t-shirt collection. Jack Clark and Steve Sax (both number 6) are personal favorites.

I’m not sure what Roger Clemens contract is, but he doesn’t have to travel with the team and only shows up on days that he pitches.
BTW, what is with all of the underscore words that advertise another website? It is distracting when you read the blog…

It was reported this morning that in 2013, the so called “Curt Schilling” clause will make any player with monetary incentives for awards written into their contracts ineligible for consideration. If Curt is still renewing one-year contracts at that time, he’ll be plumb out of luck.
