So let's see... assuming a $25.2 million yearly salary, divided evenly over 162 games... that makes for about $155,555.56 per game for A-Rod. Over 12 games, that's 1.87 million, divided by 7 hits...

Which means that Alex Rodriguez has been paid $266,666.67 per base hit this year. Note that the Yankees don't pay all of his salary--Tom Hicks still has to pay for some. But even still, at least Hicks got something vaguely resembling his money's worth.

Add in his 6 walks, and you get a more modest $143,589.74 per time he gets on base. Man, I wish I could make that kind of money for walking 90 feet.
