Every July 1st is Bobby Bonilla Day! You may not be aware that the now retired slugger signed
a contract with the New York Mets in 2000 that deferred his $5.9
million salary in exchange for about $1.2 million per year from 2011
through 2035 on July 1st. And while this is a great payday, Bobby Bo recently announced
that he was auctioning off his copy of the famous contract. The package
includes a baseball signed by Bonilla, a game-used bat, a Zoom call,
breakfast and dinner with Bonilla, and attending a Mets game with the
slugger. The starting bid is $10,000, so it looks like he will make even
more money from the contract.
