A fellow by the name of Michael Haupert, an economics professor, has been doing exactly that. He's written a number of articles published in the SABR Business of Baseball Committee newsletter, analyzing the salary data he has collected so far. Perhaps he might be willing to share the data he has with OOTP Developments.

Fascinating. I would never have guessed that the information had been preserved.
