The Babe: what would it be like if Babe Ruth played today?

Article Abstract:

Babe Ruth earned $80,000 in 1930, and was by far the highest-paid player in baseball. If he played today, he still would earn more than anyone else, generating perhaps as much as $25 million a year. Ruth would be constantly in the media spotlight, and his lifestyle might change as a result.
