MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SALARIES

As we go to press, the threat of a Major League Baseball strike has passed. Is Sammy Sosa on your database? Alex Rodriguez? If so, check out the salaries of major league baseball players on the CNN/Sports Illustrated Web site. They're listed by team, as provided by the Associated Press on Opening Day.

By the way, you'd be able to buy a lot more than peanuts and Crackerjacks with the salaries of Sosa ($15 million) and Rodriguez ($22 million).
