  • 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!
