Jim VBMy personal favorite went back to his early years in Oakland. An end of season audit determined that the team's books were out of balance by $1,000,000. After investigation they found Rickey had gotten a bonus check at the start of the season. He thought it looked so cool, he had framed it and never cashed it.
(Later in his career he failed to cash another bonus check from the Yankees. When asked about it, he said he was waiting for money market rates to go up.)
