Clearwater, Fla.– CAA Sports should get a big medal for this one, maybe even have a wing of the Ryan Howard Belleaire mansion.  CAA Sports, the agent firm of Ryan Howard really got the money’s worth especially the last two years.  After all Howard played in 151 total games in 2012 and 2013 with 25 Hrs and 99 RBI.  Considering the extension,  a 5 year, $125 million contract Howard signed, over those two years Howard made around $40 million of it.  That’s $264,667 per game, $1.6 million per HR.

This house should be painted in Phillies pinstripes and surely the Phillies brass should have an open invite to the house of Howard, which has come a long way.
