April 4, 200323 yr More on baseball economics: By RONALD BLUM, AP Sports Writer April 4, 2003 -- Anaheim followed its first World Series title by boosting its payroll to $79 million, keeping all its key players. The Angels began 2002 at $61.7 million. -- Philadelphia, which moves into a new ballpark in 2004, made a big payroll jump (from $58 million to $70.8 million), as did division champions Minnesota and Oakland. :mischief2 Gee... did an AP writer finally figure out that you HAVE to spend $$ to keep a quality team together? Success breeds increases in salary - that's how our economy works.
