Sample Book Insights:

#1 I had signed a contract to play for the Seattle Pilots, but was still thinking about whether or not it was all over for me. I had been pitching for the Seattle Angels of the Pacific Coast League, and was sold to Seattle for $20,000 and was supposed to get $8,000 of that, meaning I was actually sold for $12,000.

#2 In 1959, I started out in the baseball establishment. I was ready to love it. I thought big business had all the answers to any question I could ask. I signed my first major-league contract at Yankee Stadium, and when I finished the season with a 7-7 record, I collected another $10,000.

#3 I was a holdout again in spring training of my second season. The Yankees were not happy, as they knew they were being unfair. I was giving out straight figures, telling everyone exactly what I’d made and what they were offering.

#4 I had won 18 games and two in the World Series the year before, which was worth about an $8,000 raise. But in light of what had happened the year before, I asked for at least 30 thousand dollars.
