• Team: New York Yankees
  
• Overall earnings: $33.5 million
  

Maybe not the biggest shocker you'll read all day. Yes, A-Rod is once again the richest player in baseball. His $31 million 2012 salary is part of the largest contract in baseball history, totaling $275 million. What might be a bit surprising is that despite being one of the most recognizable names in the sport (once dating Madonna) and in its biggest market, Rodriguez draws only $2.5 million in endorsements, led by Nike, Rawlings and Topps.
