While trying to confirm Selig's annual Salary, I ran across this article. It is an interesting read...especially the top ten things facing Selig back in 1998.

FYI...I heard and confirmed that Selig's annual Salary was 14mil in 07. That is just crazy considering the level of leadership/skill he brings to that position.

No freaking way he makes $14 mill

I would be shocked if it’s anything more than 1 or 2.

Why would the two of you be so surprised at $14 million?

MLB is a multibillion dollar business. It would NOT surprise me to have this confirmed.

Here it is

about 6 mil in base salary and the other 8 mil in bonuses and expenses.

I guess Derv gets to eat his shorts.
