Many years ago, I remember picking up a Sports Illustrated magazine, and on the cover was headline about Ryne Sandberg being the 7 million dollar man.
7 million dollars as year. That was considered big time money.

Yeah, I'm :flabbynsick:

Luka Doncic could make that in 8 games (if he was paid per game). That's like 2 weeks of the NBA schedule.

:gladbron:

BTW, I had to google the magazine I was talking about. It's this one from March 16, 1992:

KIrby Puckett was pulling in three million a year for the small market twins in 1991. :wow:
