35 cents… only 35? Reggie Jackson when he was with NY used to walk around the outfield picking up change the fans threw at him.
I used to think this was his way of showing Steinbrenner how he needed a better contract until I heard how many luxurious cars he had in his collection.
This used to be a rite-of-passage for polarizing outfielders, as you point out, Jeff. And I agree, given all the furor over it, 35 cents seems cheap, especially when you factor for inflation.
