This is why I don't get upset when I hear about how much players get now. $7500 a year, what a ripoff!! The owners were screwing players left and right for who knows how many years. Well, now it's the players turn!
This would never happen today. Some agent would've signed Mickey the second he got out of high school. I can't even imagine how much they would pay Mickey today. If A-Rod gets $40 million a year Mickey would get at least $100 million, maybe more. To think that Casey, Mickey's manager, had to fight to get Mickey $7,500 for his first year - unbelievable! Truly fantastic!
