I'm guessing payroll or attendance - the specifics of which I have no idea

It looks like Raymond needs a clue which has been provided by editing the OP.

Hope this doesn't make it too easy.

Incorrect, but I am adding another clue to the first post.

This is all I can figure out:

The relationship between the first number in each set of six is that the second set's first number is lower than the first set's and the third set's first number is lower than the second. This is true for the first, second, fifth and sixth numbers in each set.

For the third number in each set, the succeeding set's third number is more than the previous set.

For the fourth number in the first set, the second set's fourth number is lower, but the third set's fourth number is higher than the second set's.

...so much for numeric patterns...

The asterisks are important. Take two asterisks and call me in the morning.

If it wasn't for the fourth number in each set being so high, I would lean toward attendance figures with the lowest numbers being strike years.

The only number over 7 million I can think of associated with baseball would be an individual player's chronological numeric assignment - as in Joe was the 7,891,957 ML player, etc.
