Best Answer

In a free economy all prices are set by the interaction of supply and demand. This is as true for salaries in sports as it is anywhere. Sports fans demand to see the best players. The best players, by definition since they are the "best," are in very short supply.
A question that can't really be answered. Why does anyone earn the wage they do? Because that's how much the company can afford to pay you and still make a profit.

How much does a softball player get paid?

Professional softball players, of course, get paid. However, they do not earn nearly as much money as Major League Baseball players. The Olympic Team that will compete in Beijing this year does get paid, more than the professional softball players, but again, not as much as the average Major League Baseball player. For example, Jennie Finch drives a van, NOT a Ferrari.


Should softball players get paid as much as baseball players?

Professional softball players are paid less than professional baseball players because softball is not as popular as baseball. Baseball has a much bigger market in the economy, as proven by the baseball stadiums, playing cards, t-shirts, and hats. Because of all the profits that these things generate, they are able to pay their players more. Softball does not have this kind of publicity, and there for the money that flows into the organizations involved in the sport do not draw as much money either. Because they do not draw as much revenue as the baseball organizations, they are not able to pay their players as much as baseball players get paid.
