The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Free agency did not exist in MLB prior to the end of the reserve clause in the 1970s, allowing owners before that time to wholly dictate the terms of player negotiations and resulting in significantly lower salaries.
- Babe Ruth, widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players ever, earned an estimated $856,850 over his entire playing career.
- When asked whether he thought he deserved to earn $80,000 a year, while the president, Herbert Hoover, had a $75,000 salary, Ruth famously remarked, "What the hell has Hoover got to do with it?
