Okay, here’s my blog post about Mickey Mantle’s salary:
So, I got curious about how much baseball players used to make back in the day. I mean, we’re talking about legends, right? And one name that always comes up is Mickey Mantle. Seriously, this guy was a beast. Anyway, I decided to do a little digging into his salary history.
First, I hit up the usual spots, you know, the big search engines. I typed in “Mickey Mantle salary” and started scrolling through the results. Lots of stuff popped up, but it was mostly like, “Mickey Mantle net worth” this, and “Mickey Mantle salary” that. It was all a bit jumbled, and honestly, a little confusing. I just wanted the basic facts, no fancy stuff.
I stumbled upon some info about Lou Gehrig, another baseball legend. It said that from 1923 to 1939, Gehrig made a total of $361 in baseball salary. $361! Can you believe that? That wouldn’t even cover my monthly groceries! I know, I know, it was a different time, but still… it was a pretty shocking number. It got me thinking about what the real numbers were for Mantle.
Then I found this website, something called People Ai. They claimed to have estimates for celebrity salaries. According to them, they use some fancy algorithm to figure it out based on, like, internet data or something. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it seemed like a good place to start. They had a whole section on Mickey Mantle, with all sorts of numbers related to his net worth and salary.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through all the info. It was kind of overwhelming, to be honest. There were a lot of numbers, and I’m not really a numbers guy. But I managed to piece it together, and I think I got a decent understanding of how much he was making.
- I learned that it was really hard to find concrete numbers.
- I also figured out that these online estimates are just that…estimates.
- But it was interesting to see how things have changed over time.
So, yeah, that was my little adventure into the world of Mickey Mantle’s salary. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be, but it was definitely a learning experience. I figured that is how you can learn more things, just keep digging. Now, I’m even more curious about other players from that era. Maybe I’ll dive into that next!
That is all
Hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with me. It’s always fun to look back and see how things were, especially when it comes to the legends of the game!
