<1/5> 出塁率の高い選手のサラリーについて。

「According to the annual USA TODAY major-league salary survey, players who ranked in the top 10 in on-base percentage in 2002 have an average salary this season of more than $12.2 million, higher than those in the top 10 in other key offensive and pitching categories such as home runs, steals, wins and saves.」
「After on-base ($12,214,719 average salary), batting average ranked second, home runs third and RBI fifth. Those are the categories used most traditionally to measure offensive contributions and consequently dictate salary.」
「"And they called us wacko," A's general manager Billy Beane said with some amusement. He, Sandy Alderson, now baseball's vice president of operations, and other A's executives and field personnel have pushed on-base percentage for more than a decade.」
これは「MoneyBall」のモティーフの一つ。
