About this trail:
Derek Jeter is the top earning baseball player. He made the same salary as Arod this past year ($21 million), and earned seven million in endorsements (compared to six million for Rodriguez). That’s a VERY expensive left side of the infield. You’ll never guess who the top earning player in the NFL is….Carson Palmer.
