Fans in philly are the worst to their players...but they love Ryan Howard. Not to say that they love him more than NY fans love Jeter but are we talkin $20 million more? I don't think we can automatically say that for sure.
Not only do the Yankees have the largest market in baseball but Jeter has been one of the faces of baseball for the past seven years. You see his face all over all kinds of MLB merchendise. Outside of Michael Jordan I'd be willing to bet Jeter is the most heavily marketed athlete in sports over the past 10 years. He's the MLB's sacred cash cow.
