This is from an ESPN insider blog section.....

The "anti-Madden curse"
By Tyler Korn, ESPN Stats & Info

While the “Madden Curse” has been well-chronicled over the past decade, there is one video game cover athletes may still want to grace. That video game is Sony’s MLB: The Show. Since its creation in 2006, the cover athlete for the game has had a great year in terms of salary compensation.

Each athlete that has appeared on the cover went on to sign a contract worth at least $40 million that year or the following year. This year’s cover features Twins catcher Joe Mauer, who just signed the fourth richest contract in baseball history and the richest ever for a catcher.

MLB: THE SHOW COVER ATHLETE, SINCE 2006

============== Terms of Contract Year Signed
'10 Joe Mauer ------------ 8-yr/$184M -------- 2010
'09 Dustin Pedroia -------- 6-yr/$40.5M ----- 2009
'08 Ryan Howard -------- 3-yr/$54M ---------- 2009
'07 David Wright -------- 6-yr/$55M ---------- 2007
'06 David Ortiz --------- 4-yr/$52M ----------- 2007
