Ah,
Davy Goode. Click that link to revel in his ungodly hideousness, which can be yours for the low, low price of just of $74,400,000! $12.4M/season doesn't buy you what it used to. What it
does buy you, apparently, is a career .235 hitter (
sixth-lowest amongst qualifiers) with little pop or speed to speak of and not even remotely possessing the glove required to compensate for these deficiencies.
But! He is good for some stories, and good stories are worth something, after all. Not many players inspire a
four-part mystery series. Or
two ballads. So there's that. Whether the sum of his ability to inspire great literature and his modest baseball skills equal $12.4M/season... well, I'll leave that to you to decide, Gentle Reader.
