Mantle Signs For 72000 With Yankees In 1959
Mickey Mantle signed a New York Yankees contract for 72000, ranking third in active baseball salaries behind Ruth and DiMaggio. The deal, made in St. Petersburg with Lee MacPhail, kept Mantle on a path to potential record earnings as rival Roy Sievers joined Washington on 936000. Mantle’s past triple crown and Williams and Sievers’ respective paydays frame a shifting AL payroll landscape and highlight salary milestones in the era.
