The other day, on t.v., I saw an old photo of Babe dressed very well, standing in front of a huge car.
That got me wondering what his salary would be in today's dollars.
From what I can gather on the interwebs, he made about $856,000 in his career.
Year-By-Year, that would work out to a total of about $13 million for his entire career.
Mike Trout is making $37 mil just this year alone.
In 2021 dollars, Babe's best year was 1932, he made $1.3 million in 2021 dollars.
Players making $1.3 million this year:
Adam Engel, CWS
Jay Bruce, NYY
Robert Gsellman, NYM
A.J. Minter, ATL
Jacob Stallings, PIT
Victor Caratini, SD
I know we can't really compare today's salaries with those from 90 years ago. But it's interesting to look at.
