Motivation Quote by Brett Hull

“Baseball has all the money” lands like a locker-room punchline, but it’s really a small, sharp piece of labor commentary from someone who spent a career in a sport that rarely got to feel rich.

Coming from Brett Hull, it reads less as envy than as a blunt inventory of the American sports economy. In the era Hull played through, baseball had already locked in its long-game advantages: a deep schedule that prints ticket revenue, a culture of daily local broadcasts, and a salary system that (thanks to earlier union wins) normalized eye-watering contracts. Hockey, even at its peak, lived closer to the margins: smaller arenas, regional followings, and constant reminders that “major league” status is as much a TV deal as it is talent.

The subtext is about status, not just cash. Money signals which sport gets to set the terms of celebrity, which athletes become default cultural references, and which leagues can survive mistakes. When Hull says baseball has it “all,” he’s pointing at an ecosystem where wealth isn’t a perk, it’s gravity. It pulls free agents, media attention, and political goodwill in a way hockey has to fight for, season after season.

There’s also a protective humor to the line. Athletes rarely want to sound like accountants; this phrasing lets Hull acknowledge inequity without pleading. It’s a shrug that doubles as a critique: in American sports, the scoreboard isn’t the only thing that counts.
