I'm not either, but it's true.  Today's Chicago Tribune featured
the final "payroll standings" of all the major league clubs with
their actual finish position in parentheses.  *LAST* in the NL
East payroll--the Mets.  *FIRST*--the Cubs.  So the Mets actually
got a lot more "bang for the buck."  Other bargains, near the
bottom on payroll but near the top in games won, were Minnesota
and Toronto.  Unfortunately, no dollar figures are given, only
rankings.
