Only the major league baseball players who are gifted make allot of money. They are paid big dollars because they are very good at what they do. Great players equals more victories. The more victories the more fans come to see them play. This creates more revenue. It is all about the money.

the baseball players make more money
Lots of ways! Baseball is America's pastime.. it's our sport. Not football, not basketball.. but baseball. It's the brand of the USA. Baseball players also help out with the community by donating a lot of their time and money to charities, and making charities themselves.

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.
The minimum salary for the 2009 season is $400,000 according to major league players association.
