What Would Nolan Ryan Say


How does $325 million sound? To me it reads like a lot of money. Many years ago, beginning in 1953, the Detroit Tigers had an 18 year old on their roster named Al Kaline. He developed into a perennial all-star and is still legendary in Tiger history. Toward the end of his career the Tigers wanted to show their gratitude for what he did for not only the team but baseball in general. The management offered him a $100,000 yearly contract. Kaline turned it down saying, "No player is worth that much money."
