Ive got a question for all you experts out there. I seem to recall that
it is against ML rules for a player to have a performance clause in his
contract; ie so many dollars for each hit, strikeout, or whatever. But
it is perfectly ok to have clauses based on post season awards or
appearances. So 

1) Is this really a rule?

2) Is it a rule of the MLs or the Feds, of the players union?

3) What is the reasoning behind it?

4) Does it make any sense at all?

If the answer to (1) is no, you can skip the others. Thanks is advance.

Bob Weiler.
