This is the biggest disparity between athletes from today and athletes from the distant past.

Sure players today are a little bigger and faster and coaching, sports medicine and nutrition have improved. But the leap in money is crazy.

I think Mickey Mantle was the first athlete to make $100k and that was in the 60s. A lot of pro athletes had to work offseason jobs.
