Used to apply.
Still does.
Just a slightly different application.
1961.
Mickey Mantle.
Arguably one of the top five players in the history of baseball.
Led the league in runs scored that year.
Made a then record breaking salary of seventy five thousand dollars.
Today, that would be five hundred and eighty three thousand dollars.
2012.
Alex Rodriquez.
Tried to pick up women by throwing messages written on baseballs into the stands during a league championship game.
Made a salary of twenty nine million dollars this year.
Today, that would be worth twenty nine million dollars.
Incredible.
