The San Francisco Giants, who swept Detroit for their second World Series title in three seasons, will receive a players' pool payout of $23.5 million from postseason revenues, and the Giants have elected to carve that up into 50 full shares. Each share is worth $377,002.64, according to Major League Baseball, and that eclipses the previous high for an individual share of $362,173.07, one set by the '06 Cardinals.
The Cardinals, who lost to the Giants in the National League championship series, received a players' pool of $7.8 million. The Cardinals voted to award 56 full shares, each of which is worth $122,558.29.
A total of purse of about $65 million was split between the 10 playoff teams.
Not bad.
