How would I spend Ryan Howard's millions?  Well, you'll have to click on the URL to find out in full.  But just how big is a million...I am a man of modest means, and in my profession, will definitely remain so. If I have extra money at the end of the month, I am ecstatic. I know how I'd spend $100,000: I'd pay off the house, college loans, car, eliminate credit. But 1 million is a huge number. It is bigger than many people think. If you could travel back in time at a rate of 1 year per second, it would take you 11.6 days to go back one million years (Fun Fact: it would take you over 31.7 years to go back 1 billion years). One million inches is 15.79 miles. The moon is only 238,855 miles (384,000 km) away, so 1 million miles is 2 trips to the moon and back. One million is huge.

So take all these large numbers and multiply them by 18 (208.8 days to travel back 18 million years, 18 million inches is 284.22 miles, 18 million miles is 36 trips to the moon and back). Now you have a grasp of how large 18,000,000 dollars is, and hopefully, how ridiculous it is for Ryan Howard to ask for this amount in arbitration. Full article- http://morehardball.blogspot.com
