In other words baseball salaries are a product of supply and demand. The very fact that baseball players are paid such tremendously high salaries supports the contention that they are paid what they are worth. The author also looks to the open market to evaluate the price of baseball paraphernalia such as logo clothing and even collector cards in order to substantiate player worth. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
