Quote:Thanks to some artful negotiating by the baseball players' union, a part of gate receipts from postseason games goes into a common pool that's distributed to playoff teams -- with the biggest cut going to the World Series winners, who get 36 percent of the total to distribute as they see fit. Last season, the overall pool was more than $42 million, and the champion Boston Red Sox received a record $15 million to divide.By custom, team members meet privately at the end of the regular season to vote on how the postseason "shares" will be allocated. Most regular players get a full share; some benchwarmers get a partial one. But in the euphoria of a successful season, players often find it in their hearts to make sure the clubhouse workers share in the proceeds, too.
