The boys in blue (Dodgers) just signed that traitor Nomar for another two years at $18.5 mill. That's a whole heck of a lot of money for a perpetually-wounded whine-baby. You all did know his name comes from his dad spelling his own name backwards, right?
Meanwhile,
WorkLifeWizard.org, which is a Harvard-based
resource center, a salary-checker and a tool for helping American businesses and workers understand more about work life, has a VIP Salary section listing a breakdown of the top Yank and BoSox players:
