Rangers Get Nearly $250,000 Each In World Series Loss
ARLINGTON (AP) -- A full postseason share on the World Series champion San Francisco Giants was worth $317,631, down from a record $350,030 for the New York Yankees in 2009.
The commissioner's office said Monday a full share for each of the Rangers, who were the losing team, was $246,280, down from $265,358 for the NL champion Philadelphia Phillies last year.
The players' pool was $54.9 million, a drop from a record $59.1 million last year. It includes 60 percent of the ticket money from the first three games of each division series, and the first four games of each league championship series and the World Series.
The Giants beat the Rangers in Game 5 in Arlington earlier this month to win their first World Series since moving to San Francisco. It was the Rangers first appearance in the fall classic since the franchise started in 1961 in Washington, D.C.
