An expensive pitch?

In case you missed it, the New York Yankees just signed pitcher CC Sabathia to a $7,000,000 a -year contract for the next seven years. While I haven't done the math, that's got to work out to several thousand dollars per pitch.
So let me get this straight...a guy stands 90 feet away from another guy, hurls a little white sphere to the other guy and gets several thousand dollars each time he does this. And he does this a bunch of times during the Summer of each year for the next seven years.

What a country!

But, hey, I don't want to envy this CC guy, I just want to emulate him.

Don't you wish every PR pitch you made turned out to be worth seven million?
