Big contracts not enough for some stars
PHILADELPHIA - Big baseball stars pull down the big bucks. Everybody knows that. But, it seems, once you reach that certain lifestyles-of-the rich-and-famous level, it's all about the perks. Take Padres righthander Greg Maddux. He will make $10 million this year. But he also got the team to throw in a membership to the exclusive Del Mar Country Club. The Giants are willing to add $15.8 million to Barry Bonds' bank account as he tries to become baseball's all-time home run leader. But, just to make sure he's happy, they also agreed to give him five games' use of a luxury suite at AT&T Park, five complimentary box seats at all road games and a suite on the road. Bonds isn't the only headliner to get a suite, either. Maddux gets one. So do Randy Johnson, Gary Sheffield, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and Eric Gagne, among others.
