The details of the $100,000,000 MLB playoff bonus pool.

How it gets split up, who gets paid, and the closed-door meetings:

MLB pools together all the ticket sales from the playoff games.

They then split the money between the players and the owners.

The split gets broken down like this. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Players get 60% of the gate receipt for the first 2 games in the Wild Card round.

Owners get 100% if the series goes to a game 3.

Players get 60% of the gate receipts for the first 3 games in the Divisional round.

Owners get 100% if the series goes to a game 4 and 5.

Players get 60% of the gate receipts for the first 4 games in the League Championship round and the World Series.

Owners get 100% if the series goes past four games.

In 2022 the players' share was a record-breaking $107,500,000.

Who gets paid?

Each team holds closed-door meetings to determine who gets paid.

Players are generally paid based on service time for that year.

In the big leagues for half the year? You get a half-share of the playoff bonus.

Make the playoff roster? You generally get a full share of the playoff bonus.

Players also decide how coaches, clubbies, and team staff get paid out.

These numbers can be life-changing for many team personnel.

In 2022 the Houston Astros took home full shares in the amount of $516,347.

Within that, they gave up 59 full shares, 14.14 partial shares, and cash bonuses adding up to $940,000.

The ultimate goal is to host the Commissioners Trophy, but don't forget there is serious money on the line for players, staff, and team personnel.

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

Fighterfighter Michael Cammarata lost his life at the age of 22 in the September 11th attacks.

In 1991, he played right field for the Staten Island team that made it to Williamsport.

His #11 is the only number retired by the Little League World Series

🇺🇸#Flashback: On this day, nearly 22 years after the 9/11 terror attacks occurred on our American soil, our beloved country was under attack. The World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City collapsed after two jets struck the buildings. A third jet crashed into the Pentagon near Washington, DC while a fourth one went down in a field in Pennsylvania resulting in the tragic loss of over 2,979 lives. The nation will always remember those who were lost on that fateful day and observe a moment of silence in their memory. We will never forget this tragic moment. 

where were you on this tragic day when it happened on 9/11

Self-toss for hitters is an incredible drill / warm up

• Do you have videos of yourself doing it?

• In my opinion, (for hitters, not coaches) setting the top hand to 80% ready & tossing w/ the bottom hand is the most realistic + beneficial way

Yearly reminder that Jenny is the worst:

- Gave Forrest the run around the entire movie
- Keeps Forrest kid away from him until she finds out he’s rich and wants that child support money
- Puts Forrest in the friend zone when he’s poor. Gets rich...”Okay I’ll marry you.”

After 30 years as a coach, I have seen significant decline in critical areas of our game. What can be done to save it for generations to come?

Saw recently that a youth baseball league requires parents to umpire games if they get unruly towards umpires while they are fans. This is genius. Something has to start to bring things back to center. Maybe they should also be required to coach for a week when acting up towards coaches? Both scenarios would bring amazing perspective. Fact is, we are losing the very things that make this game (from youth to HS) even possible. Not only possible, but played fundamentally sound and enjoyable to watch. Without umpires and good coaches, which are both departing in droves, our game will continue to decline. There are still so many great parents, who get it, however, the percentage of fanatical parents is significantly on the rise. And that is a big problem.
