Where's the salary cap? Hank Aaron never made more than $200K. In today's dollars, that would come out the same as most average players and some bench-warmers in the league. That's one reason why I love the fantasy leagues where every team gets a fair shot to put out a winner. It should be that way in real life. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1128 • Back to Topics 5267 reads

The average house in 1976 was probably around $30,000. The average house today is probably around $450,000... still, your point is well taken because this means in today's dollars, Aaron was likely making just over average. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1145 • Back to Topics 5267 reads
