Re: Have you ever been a sports professional?
It seems like light years ago, but i played baseball for the Atlanta Braves and the Montreal expos....Remember them? Kinda terrible for a kid that dreamed of playing for the Yankees... My first year playing, i got a whopping huge signing bonus of $23,000...
a good friend of mine got the largest bonus of all times of $100,000... he went on to an incredible career including managing the N Y Mets... I went into the Gourmet Coffee Business (thank God)... I would never have been able to retire on the $1,300 / month that i made my last year in Baseball...Great experience for a 18 year old in 1968..
living in Sebring til the market recovers then on to TV
