first salary is that of von hayes who played mostly in the 80's and early  90's  , and the second is of jason heyward a similar player playing now. what a difference a few years make.

You should do a 40 year comparison from 1944 to 1984.

 Also Von Hayes was a good player.

I think Von Hayes was better than Jason Heyward if memory serves.

I predict the 1st billion dollar contract in the next 10 years. Maybe even the next 5.
