St. Louis Cardinal Matt Holliday makes $17 Million a year. A hot dog vendor at Busch stadium makes a little above minimum wage, or about $10 an hour. 

A professional baseball player and hot dog vendor both work in the same stadium for the same number of hours addressing the needs of ticket holders. However, it would take the hot dog guy a thousand years to match the one-year salary of a top player, yet no one complains.  In fact, most ardent fans would scoff at a comparison, pointing out that Matt Holliday and those of his ilk have practiced thousands of hours to hone the skills that make them the hometown favorites that can fill a stadium with fans who hope to see evidence of the player’s skills and past performance. If a top ranking player strikes out, throws balls instead of strikes, or generally performs badly, no one docks his pay.
