Here is an interesting story from Yahoo Sports about Yankee reliever Phil Coke. Apparently, the lefty is paid 1/80th of what Alex Rodriguez makes per year, and he comes from a very simple upbringing as a chimney sweep during the off season.
In an era where most baseball players do not work extra jobs to make cash, like they used to in the 1920's, 30's, 40's 50's and 60's, this story is very humbling and a fantastic read. Take a look, I highly recommend it. PHIL COKE STORY!
The Yankees will face the Phillies tonight in game one of the World Series; first pitch is at 7:57 ET on FOX.
