Long time lurker - first time poster....at least the first post in many years. I am hoping someone smarter than me here can explain why / how our payroll was higher 25 years ago than it is now. The O's had the highest payroll in the league in 1998 at just over $71 million. I get that revenue is down from the last five years but the dollar is also worth nearly twice as much now as it was in 1998.
