Just How Much Money is $25 Million a Year?

Published:
Ryan Howard's new contract will pay him $25 million a year in 2014-2016. Just how much money is that?
Well…
If Ryan Howard were to play in all 162 games, have 600 at bats, hit 40 home runs, and drive in 140 runs a season, he will make $154,321 a game.
$625,000 per home run.
$178,571 per RBI.
$17,147 per inning.
$961,538 per week (based on playing 6 months out of the year).
And my favorite, $41,667 per at bat. The median average American income is $32,140 per year. That's right, Ryan Howard will make more money PER AT BAT than most people make in a year.
Life is good.
