Add to CalendarJoin New York Times sportswriter Gerald Eskenazi as he gives a talk titled "Why A-Rod Makes $17,000 an Inning and You Don't."
Controversy mars sports today, and "bad boys" and $100 million contracts seem to have sprouted up everywhere. Gerald Eskenazi, a sportswriter for almost 50 years with The New York Times, examines the roots of the situation--where the money comes from and how it affects baseball and other sports.
