I'm just curious...

 

Are you using a normal economic inflation rate of 3-5% or a rate of 10% since that is usually considered "baseball" inflation (at least according to the Hardball times)?

Jose Macias has probably made more than Babe Ruth did in his entire career

 

I dont know about Macias, but I know Neifi Perez has.

 

I did a report on money in baseball in the 20th century last year for my Humanities 2 class. I compared Neifi Perez to Babe Ruth (and I used an online money-converter to change Babe's salary to todays money) and Babe didnt even come close to Neifi.

 

Sickening.

[Brian]

But Babe Ruth could go to a movie for a nickel.

didnt Maddux sign a contract in 1992 that everyone thought was insane?... which now if you look at it, its money he still gets at this age.
