Not to get this off-topic, but I don't believe those numbers from Forbes. From everything I've heard in the past, their numbers are always way off. The Astros spent over $11mil on the draft alone this year. They also had some extremely pathetic crowds show up to games and while they got the ticket money, they didn't get parking/concessions/merchandise from any of those people. I have to believe other teams have made more at some point.
