The following data appeared in The New York Times on April 11, 1996, and may be of interest.
Code:
Operating revenues, operating expenses, and operating profits (losses)
for the 26 major league baseball teams (28 teams beginning in 1993),
as obtained by The Associated Press from management financial statements.
Figures are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars after 1983, except
for 1994, which is rounded to the nearest million.

Notes
1981 revenue does not include $46.8 million from strike insurance
1995 figures were preliminary estimates
Original article listed 1978 profit as (4,586). This was likely a typo and
is corrected in the above table.
Original article listed 1990 profit as (19,772,933). This was likely a typo
and is corrected in the above table.
