There are also stories of players through the 1920's playing out west or in the minors because the pay could be better than in the majors.
But that wasn't the crux of my point and I think you know that.
If this kind of money went to doctors it would likely funnel some people to it that end up being really really good. People who would have, maybe, chosen something like baseball had it paid more.
If you enjoy great baseball, thank Marvin Miller. He helped that happen.
