A $150 hat??

In 1941 $150 was a ton of cash. The average hat was $5 to $10 at the time. The average yearly income in the USA was about $1,400 a year.

Joe made about $100/ game in 1941 - still, a nice gift.

The current Yankee starter at second base is paid more than $12K/ game, about eight times the rate of inflation during the same time stretch.

Back then there were 40,000 spectators on the stadium. Today there are 40,000,000 spectators behind the TV-screens. Where does all the money go today?

Very interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Is there a copyright date or any date that would indicate when it was printed? I would guess it was from the 1920's. Maybe the late 1900's.
