Yankees’ Salaries Account For 2.5 Percent of Bronx Wages

The Bronx Bombers make a lot of money. However, did you know that the players on the New York Yankees account for 2.5% of all wages in the Bronx? NBC News has reported that was in case in 2013.

It’s no secret that baseball players make a ton of money. The average MLB salary was roughly $4.25 million on opening day this season. That figure was just $3.65 million two years ago. While pro baseball players have been making a lot of money for a long time, recent years have really accelerated the ballooning salaries.
