Mitch's Musings on Second Place Cash in Baseball’s World Series
Edgar Munzel of the Chicago Herald and Examiner notes that New York's fourth subway series will yield about $1,030,000 gate from four games plus $100,000 broadcasting rights. Second place clubs split a pool around $39,397, with about 26 shares each yielding roughly $1,515. This would top the prior World Series losing shares and set new records for runner-ups, especially if the series goes seven games.
