In a MLB game (in 13), I was managing the Rockies. We had just won the world series after 8 winning seasons, and 7 early exits from the playoffs. Our market went from "above average" to "Astronomical". We had been selling out every game, the entire time. The only difference was that my budget blew up. I went from $120 million budget ($95 million payroll) to $180 million budget ($126 million payroll).

So I wanted to know where all this extra money came from, and why we were suddenly astronomical. Turns out, our media contract which was formerly in the bottom 1/3, was suddenly #1. I was not playing as commissioner, and did nothing to change that contract. All I know is market size directly correlates to media contract.
