Concerning Don Drysdale?
Question:Concerning Don Drysdale, What year did he first sign for a million dollars with the Dodgers. Becoming known as the "million dollar baby?" I think I am right in assuming he was the first to ever recieve such a large contract, or am I?
Answers:
In baseball what does WP mean...?
The first player in MLB to sign a million dollar/year contract was Nolan Ryan. But even the first multiple-year contact totalling that much in MLB was signed some time after Drysdale's last season, which was '69.You may be referring to the season in which both Drysdale and Koufax sat out part of training camp, because they each demanded $100,000/yr contracts.
