Baseball salaries skyrocket from Ruth era to modern peaking players
Salaries have risen from Babe Ruth's $80 000 yearly pay to a current average of about $121 000 per season. Top stars like Nolan Ryan and Dave Parker earn around $1 000 000 annually, with others such as Rod Carew and Pete Rose near $900 000. A hypothetical 11 player payroll would exceed $8 million. Ruth's era paid far less by comparison.
