Web Site Linking

Part of the salary reduction the Yankees were able to negotiate with Alex Rodriguez was the following:


Rodriguez gets a hotel suite on the road and the right to link his Web site to the Yankees' Web site.

As Columbia-Union points out, what possible value can A-Rod get out of linking to the Yankees web site? Well, I believe people are misinterpreting this clause. I don't think they are talking about a hyper-link from A-Rod's site to the Yankees site (although that would be included). As I read it, it's linking the sites in the sense that if you visit one, you visit both. Link, as in, their fortunes are linked. That's the only thing that makes economic sense to me.
