Eh, Ted Williams refused to tip his hat to the fans throughout his entire career due to the whole booing/applauding ying/yang, even in his final at-bat. Amazing what hitting 521 home runs and batting .344 over a career will do for your eternal reputation.
And the fans don't pay players' salaries, the owners do using profits from ticket sales, merchandising, TV and radio deals, etc. Personally when I go into the local convenience store to buy a bag of chips I don't generally think, "I'm paying the clerk's salary with this dollar". More, "I'm buying me this bag of chips".
Unfortunately, or actually in my opinion fortunately those with superior abilities in life tend to get the farthest ahead, and getting further ahead tends to come with a bigger paycheck. YMMV.
