You mean baseball is a business?

Forbes magazine released their rankings of the most valuable baseball franchises.

The New York Yankees checked in at first place unsurprisingly at $1.3 billion. The Mets are second at $824 million. Boston is third at $816 million. The Dodgers are fourth at $694 million and the Cubs are fifth at $642 million.

The Florida Marlins are last at $256 million.

This shows that just because a team has a low payroll doesn't mean it's not valuable. Unless you think you $256 million to spare.

I didn't check for reaction from Bud Selig, but it's safe to say that he disagrees. As does Bob DuPuy. DuPuy is off buying more doorknobs.

Bob, don't you know MLB only uses publicly financed doorknobs?

Bob DuPuy steals doorknobs from construction sites, and I can prove it!
