Bobby Bonilla, the patron saint of getting paid to do nothing, has one of the greatest contracts in baseball history.
Thanks to a horrible bet by the New York Mets’ front office, and the Wilpons severely misplaced trust in Bernie Madoff, every July 1 Bonilla collects a paycheck of $1,193,248.00 despite having officially retired in 2001. He’ll continue to receive those checks every year through 2036—when he’s 73 years old.
Well, now one lucky—and wealthy—Bobby Bonilla fan can own a piece of infamous baseball history: the contract agreement that created Bobby Bonilla Day.
