Lemon Signs $50 000 Tribe Pact Tops AL Paywrights
Cleveland pitcher Bob Lemon signed a 1955 contract with the Indians, estimated to exceed $30,000 and likely make him the highest paid pitcher in the major leagues. The deal may push him toward top AL earnings, with attendance bonuses potentially lifting total pay to around $40,000. Lemon, a converted outfielder turned pitcher, won 23 games last season as Cleveland claimed the pennant. He holds a 163-92 career record over seven seasons and will depart for Long Beach after signing with GM Hank Greenberg.
