Who were the first ballplayers to make the following amounts in a season?

a) $50,000

b) $100,000

c) $500,000

d) $1,000,000

e) $5,000,000

f) $10,000,000

g) $20,000,000

Now that's some serious cash...

okay, some guesses.

50k Babe Ruth (I am almost sure about that!)

100k no idea

500k Hank Aaron (just a guess)

1 000k Nolan Ryan

5 000k Roger Clemens

10 000 k Ken Griffey

20 000k A Rod?

lets see what I have...

Ruth, Ryan and the Rocket are correct. :->

wasn't $20 mill Kevin Brown????

500k-Mike Schmidt
10 mil-biggest waste of money, Albert Belle

by **Arlo** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 2:45 pm

Schmidt and Belle are correct! Brown was the first to earn $15 million, though.

Belle did have a couple decent years after signing that contract, including that monster '98 season...

Manny Ramirez was the first to get 20 million. 100k, hmm. Dimaggio?

by **Arlo** » Mon Jun 10, 2002 5:58 am

Manny is correct; Dimaggio is a good guess, but no. The year the 100k contract was signed was 1947, by the way, and the player wound up playing only 125 games for the team that signed him.
