Payroll

This was one of my favorite topics to examine in the Chapter 3 homework.

ggplot(MLB_teams, aes(x = payroll/1000000, y = WPct)) +
  geom_point(aes(color = lgID)) +
  geom_smooth(, method = "lm", se = FALSE) +
  facet_wrap(~ yearID, nrow = 3) +
  labs(x = "payroll (millions $)", y = "winning proportion")
