Visual Baseball: Payroll Disparities
Posted by Kevin Dame
As you'll probably notice, a lot of my visuals contain very few numbers. I'm trying to push the envelope in how to communicate what matters WITHOUT numbers, since the sport is currently so numbers-heavy. Here's a visual I created during the ALDS to shed some light on the David & Goliath nature of the Twins Yankees match-up and the payroll differences between the two teams. As you might have guessed, font size is correlated to salary.

You could probably tweak this by taking name size into account, so that the total area of the name represents the relative salary size. A-Rod’s size here is misleading because his name is just longer than Jeter’s and Teixeira’s.
