Who was the 1st MLB player to sign a contract for 1 million dollars, so in other words which broke the 1 million dollar mark?
One guess only, no points for it though
Hint: he was also arrested for murder, I think!!!!

Reggie Jackson!
I will ignore that "murder" comment; perhaps that was to trick folks?
Anyways, the answer's got to be someone who played for Steinbrenner

the murder thing was to throw off the scent but it was Ryan. But I have also heard reports saying it was Dave Winfield too, and that is where the murder thinks came in, when he killed that bird in toronto and the arrested him for murdering the bird.

hahahaha..that was hilarious to think that Winfield killed the bird via his pop up fly ball, and then was accused of murder
