Hard to feel sorry. Think about poor Yogi and Scooter...


I think that most could get by on $56 million.

Think of the greats from the 1950s-60s. Yogi Berra had 10 friggin rings! At least Troy never had to show you to your seat or sell you a claw hammer in the off-season.
" In the early 1950s, baseball players were not paid the exorbitant salaries they receive today. In fact, many ball players, even the stars, worked to supplement their income by taking off-season and part-time jobs or venturing into small businesses. Yogi Berra worked in the hardware section of a Sears Roebuck store in the off season and also as a head waiter. And with his best friend on the Yankees, Phil Rizzuto, the two Yankees worked at The American Shop in Newark, New Jersey selling men's clothing during the 1951 off-season."
