A baseball player who received a monthly pension of A hundred thousand dollars until his team accidentally killed him.

For most people, July 1 is a very ordinary day. 

Unless your birthday or family anniversary is on July 1, there is no reason why it should come around. 

But in American sports, July 1 is unofficially called Bobby Bonilla Day. 

As its name suggests, Bobby Bonilla looks forward to it every year.

The reason is very simple. 

Bobby Bonilla, who officially retired from MLB 16 years ago, still receives $ 113,248 from the New York Mets starting July 1 every year. 

That's not all. And by the time you're 73 years old, you'll get over a billion dollars a year. 

Is there any reason why we shouldn't know about this after all? 

Next, I will explain why a retired baseball player will receive 1 billion won a year until he dies in 2001.

The 56-year-old Bobby Vonilla played baseball in the U.S. Major League for 16 seasons from 1986 to 2001. 



He has hit 287 home runs in his career with a. 279. 


He even tasted winning the World Series in 1997.

He played in the last Major League Baseball game on October 7, 2001, 17 years ago.

 So how did he get the 12th highest salary ever for the New York Mets active last season? 

That's because Bobby Vonilla has created the greatest deal in sports history.

Barbie Bonilla has negotiated a renewal with the New York Mets at the height of her career, with a. 300 batting average of 20 homers and 100 RBIs. 

His team gave him a five-year, $ 29 million (approximately 32.8 billion won) contract, the highest in the sports world in 1995.

But a year before the end of the contract, in 1999, 

Bobby Vonilla's performance was rapidly revised, and even his insincere attitude came under fire, 


so the New York Mets decided to ship him abroad. 


Unfortunately, the Mets still had 59 million dollars to pay Bobby Vonilla. 

Bobby Vonilla, 37 at the time, actually saw his retirement approaching, so he and his agent came to mind for his retirement. 

He assumes no income over the next 40 to 50 years, and he will have an out-of-the-box deal with the team with an agent from an insurance company. 

Instead of releasing him immediately, we put aside 59 million dollars for 11 years, and we put together a new contract, starting in 2011, that will cost us 1.9 million dollars a year for 25 years.

That includes the interest, of course. 

So why did the New York Mets agree to pay a total of 29.8 million dollars over the next 25 years, rather than 59.9 million dollars, right there?

 The reason for this was simple : 

Fred Wilpon, the founder of the New York Mets in the 1990s and early 2000s, was a leading real estate investor in the United States.

 He was investing in hedge funds when he was about to release Bobby Vonilla, who had double-digit interest rates every year. 

And I came to the conclusion that it was much more lucrative to invest in hedge funds than to give 59 million dollars to Bobby Bonilla immediately. 

From the  conclusion,

the hedge fund turned out to be a huge Ponzi scheme, and the owners of the New York Mets were on the verge of individual bankruptcy.

Regardless of the incident, the Mets has to pay Bobby Vonilla 1.3 billion won a year for 25 years. 

Needless to say, the New York Mets has become a sport laughing stock.

For reference, Bobby Vonilla was 48 years old in 2011 when he won the first 1.3 billion won.

 It's been 10 years since he played in the major leagues.

 The seventh time he has earned 1.3 billion won this year, he will continue to receive checks from the New York Mets until he turns 72 in 2035.

 Recently, several sports stars have been making headlines for failing to manage their assets after retirement after earning high salaries. 

Bobby Vonilla is proud of the bizarre deals he made in 1999 and says he gives advice to younger baseball players. 

In fact, Baltimore Orioles representative Slager Chris Davis said he has just agreed to a long-term contract like this.
