So Carl Yazstremski, almost top level HOFer, legend, his 1967 season was crazy...lifetime earnings estimated $10 million from 1962-1983

Mike Yazstremski, his grandson, nice player, sneaky good bat and Gold Glove level defense in RF, but nowhere near his grandpa's level (better fielder though), will not get a single HOF vote...lifetime earnings $37.6 million from 2019-2025 and he's 34 and still productive so should get a few more years of paychecks

Mike will probably finish his career earning like $60-65 million...even after inflation that's a hell of a lot more than Carl made

Just interesting to me

I wouldn’t have thought Yaz made close to 10mil tbh.

Kaline didn’t make 100K until 1971.
