It's crazy how even up until the modern era pitchers like Nolan Ryan took summer jobs during the off season. When did sports get all crazy with multimillion dollar salaries? Even Dandy Don Meredith went on to sell ATMs after being a legendary quarterback.

the question i ask is whether the owners were severely underpaying players back then. i assume even before these new massive tv contracts, the owners were still making a fuckton and players could have got a bigger chunk of the pie
