Cardinals set earnings record for World Series
NAPLES, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals cashed in at the World Series, earning more money than any other team in history.
St. Louis split $20.02 million for beating the Detroit Tigers. A full share of that was worth $362,173.

the commissioner's office said Thursday. That was nearly $40,000 more than what White Sox players received last year.
Teams are allowed to
divide the shares as they see fit. The
Cardinals gave 48 full shares, 7.133
partial shares and 16 cash awards.
When the Cardinals won their previous title in 1982, a full share was worth $43,280.
A full share for the Tigers was worth $291,668, more than $50,000 higher than the previous mark for a losing team. The 2000 New York Mets held that mark.

Manning wants Colts to fly under the radar
DALLAS — Before the season started, Peyton Manning said he'd prefer that he and the Colts "fly under the radar" this season.

GMs have repeatedly discussed the topic but know replays aren't like-
GMs plan to talk about the topic some more, and perhaps make recommendations in the future, even they know commissioner Bud Selig is against having replays to aid ummires' decisions.
The Colts haven't been pretty this season, but they are better on the road against good teams (Denver and New England) than at home against bad ones (Tennessee and Buffalo). Last week they barely beat the 3-6 Bills at the RCA Dome, winning 17-16 because the defense held up against a weak offense.
"Umpires do a really nice job," he said. "I think that's the way baseball has been played since inception. I don't see any reason to change it."

Twins' Johan Santana wins AL Cy Young award
NEW YORK — Johan Santana won the AL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second time in three years, and the Minnesota Twins' ace was a unanimous choice once again.
Santana received all 28 first-place votes for a perfect total of 140 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Chien-Ming Wang of the New York Yankees finished a distant second with 15 second-place votes and 51 points.
Associated Press
The left-hander separated himself
from all others during a dominant season, going 19-6 with a 2.77 ERA and 245 strikeouts to lead Minnesota to the AL Central title. With a baffling change up and
excellent control, he tied Wang for most wins in the majors and led the AL in ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched (233 2-3).
