What's the Difference Between Ballers, Hitters and Players?

This is just for fun, but I hear these 3 terms thrown around. Just wanted to get people's opinions. How would you rank them, which would you want to be and any examples you can think of / characteristics of each?

I think it is

  1. Baller
  2. Player
  3. Hitter

Baller - young type, parties a lot, lots of money, fast cars, chicks Player - older, more established, corporate jet is chump change Hitter - someone on the rise, 3rd yr associate

What do you Monkeys think?

your terms are to subjective for us to move forward in any logical fashion,

Felix Dennis broke it done like this, and I tend to agree..

$2-4 million: The comfortable poor $4-10 million: The comfortably off $10-30 million: The comfortably wealthy $30-80 million: The lesser rich $80-150 million: The comfortably rich $150-200 million: The rich $200-400 million: The seriously rich $400-800 million: The truly rich $800 million - $1.998 billion: The filthy rich $1.998 billion and Above: The super rich
