Message #108 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Boogaman   Subject :   Aaron turns 70 on Thursday Date :   1/31/04, 8:36pm One comment in this article is that Aaron earned $240,000 per year and was the best paid player in baseball at his peak salary. Today ARod earns more than that amount in two games. This article is very interesting read. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #108 • Back to Topics 5262 reads 1835 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!

Message #109 of 6634  *NEW* To :   Boogaman From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   Re: Aaron turns 70 on Thursda Date :   2/2/04, 9:23pm Here's something more recent. In 1983, Orel Hershiser earned $36,000 in his rookie season. That's probably what A-Rod makes for a single plate appearance. Joe DiMaggio never earned more than $150K for a season. Today, the league minimum is slightly under $200K and most of those guys spend their time ridin' the pine. A salary cap for baseball is a MUST. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #109 • Back to Topics 6284 reads
