$200,000 a year player and the average teacher salary in 1973 was slightly over $10,000 a year. In 2023, the average teacher salary was $68, 000. Did the highest paid player make 20 times that last year (like he did 50 years earlier- $1,360,000)? No. Maybe just a tad more than that. $58 million for Max Scherzer. About 850 times what the average teacher makes. I have my own thoughts about that, but I'll just throw it out there for food for thought.
